The majority of the fat content in eggs is actually unsaturated, good-for-you fat. Beyond that, eggs are also an affordable source of protein, vitamins and minerals that pair well with other heart-healthy foods and enhance a healthy dietary eating pattern.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Yes. In context, the article’s eggs section presents eggs as heart-healthy: it says eggs are worth bringing back into a weekly routine, that updated evidence puts them back on a heart-healthy menu, and the quoted reason is that their fat is mostly unsaturated and they fit a healthy eating pattern. That makes the quote directly relevant and makes opposition to the statement substantially more likely.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified The author is against the statement: Twigge describes eggs positively as mostly unsaturated, "good-for-you" fat that supports a healthy eating pattern, and the article’s egg section says eggs belong back on a heart-healthy menu and are worth bringing back into a weekly routine. That strongly implies regular egg consumption is not viewed here as increasing cardiovascular-disease risk, though the piece does not quantify exactly how often.

AI Verified The provided EatingWell URL is fetchable and contains the submitted wording in the eggs section, immediately followed by “adds Twigge,” so the page itself attributes the statement to Lauren Twigge. The same page earlier names her as “Lauren Twigge, M.C.N., RD” and shows the article publication date as May 31, 2026. Lauren Twigge’s official site also identifies her as a registered dietitian, corroborating the attribution.
