Despite these key observations, this study has several limitations, including residual confounding that cannot be fully excluded due to the observational design and dietary intake measured only at baseline, which may not capture changes over time.

AI Verified The quote is directly about the methodological core of the statement: in the context of an observational egg-consumption study, the source says residual confounding cannot be fully excluded because of the observational design, which strongly bears on whether such studies can establish causal effects from eggs. It does not mention harm specifically, but it is a closely connected causal-inference point that makes a stance on the complete statement substantially more likely.

AI Verified The quote says residual confounding "cannot be fully excluded due to the observational design," and the article’s context adds that most egg studies are limited by design flaws and inadequate adjustment for confounders. That supports the view that observational nutrition studies like these cannot by themselves show whether eggs causally help or harm, though the harm part is inferred rather than stated directly.

Eggs are a net-beneficial food for the general population

Researchers tracked nearly 40,000 older adults for 15 years and found that people who consumed eggs moderately developed Alzheimer’s disease less often than non-consumers.
