More recent studies, however, argue that dietary cholesterol from moderate egg consumption does not contribute to higher levels of “bad” cholesterol in the human body and thus does not heighten heart disease risk.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly on the statement’s central issue: whether eating eggs increases cardiovascular/heart-disease risk. It says moderate egg consumption does not raise “bad” cholesterol and therefore does not heighten heart disease risk, which makes one stance on the full statement substantially more likely. The article presents this as part of its discussion of eggs’ health effects, so the stance signal is determinable.
