Scientists also changed their stance on eggs after evidence confirmed that although eggs are high in cholesterol, they do not raise LDL-cholesterol in most people.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: the quote addresses the key causal mechanism behind the statement by saying eggs generally do not raise LDL cholesterol, and the source context explicitly ties the earlier warning about eggs to LDL-related cardiovascular disease risk. That makes the author’s stance on whether regular egg consumption increases cardiovascular disease risk substantially more likely to be determinable.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified The quote says eggs “do not raise LDL-cholesterol in most people,” and the article explains the earlier cardiovascular warning rested on the opposite assumption; it later says saturated fat, not eggs, raises LDL and that daily egg consumption is fine. So the author is against the claim that eating eggs regularly increases cardiovascular-disease risk, at least for most people.
