A small study found that eating up to three eggs per day may be safe and even improve the balance of LDL (“bad cholesterol”) and HDL cholesterol. However, more research is needed to determine if more than one to two eggs per day is safe.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about whether eating eggs daily is safe and how it affects LDL/HDL cholesterol, and the source frames egg intake in terms of heart-disease risk and safe daily amounts. That makes it on-topic for the claim about regular egg consumption increasing cardiovascular risk, with a substantially more likely stance signal even though the source is nuanced about dose and population.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified The quote says eating up to three eggs per day 'may be safe' and may even improve LDL/HDL balance, which points against a blanket claim that regular egg eating increases cardiovascular risk. In the article’s context, the author also says most healthy adults can safely eat one to two eggs daily, while cautioning that more research is needed for higher intakes and higher-risk people.

AI Verified The quote appears verbatim in the cited Verywell Health article at lines 219–220. The same page identifies the author as Carrie Madormo, RN, MPH and shows the publication date as April 21, 2026 at lines 104–116, so the quote is correctly attributed and the source URL contains it. The stored author, date, content, and source URL are consistent with the page.
