The idea that eggs are unhealthy largely stems from their cholesterol content. We now know that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a much smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than once believed, but nutrition advice tends to linger even after the science changes.

AI Verified The quote is directly about the claimed mechanism linking eggs to cardiovascular risk—dietary cholesterol—and, in source context, it is presented as a reason not to view eggs as harming heart health. The article frames the quote within discussion of concerns about dietary cholesterol and heart disease, then states that egg intake has not been shown to negatively affect heart health in healthy individuals. So the quote is on-topic and gives a determinable stance signal.

AI Verified The quote pushes back on the idea that eggs are unhealthy, saying dietary cholesterol has a "much smaller impact" than once believed; in context, the article also says egg intake has not been shown to harm heart health in healthy individuals. So the author is most likely opposing the claim, even if the caveat is that this is framed as true "for most people."
