Eggs raise the HDL to a greater extent than it does the LDL, which leads to a more favorable risk profile when it comes to cardiovascular risk.

AI Verified The quote is relevant because it gives a concrete health-effect reason about eggs—raising HDL more than LDL and thereby implying a better cardiovascular risk profile—which directly bears on whether eggs are net beneficial for the general population. In the source article, this comment appears within an overall discussion that says eggs' nutritional benefits outweigh their risks when eaten in moderation, so the quote functions as part of a supportive case on the complete statement.

AI Verified The stance is most likely supportive: he says eggs raise HDL more than LDL, giving a "more favorable risk profile" for cardiovascular risk, and the article presents eggs in moderation as having benefits that outweigh risks.

AI Verified Health.com’s article "What Happens to Your Cholesterol and Heart Health When You Eat Eggs," updated March 9, 2026, contains the exact sentence "Eggs raise the HDL to a greater extent than it does the LDL, which leads to a more favorable risk profile when it comes to cardiovascular risk," and immediately attributes it to Peter Schulman (“noted Dr. Schulman”). The linked UConn Health faculty page identifies Peter Schulman, MD, FACC as a professor of medicine and practicing cardiologist, corroborating the attribution.
