Disputed The quoted sentence does appear verbatim in the PubMed abstract for PMID 42008722, dated 2026-04-01, but the source does not attribute it to Erikka Loftfield alone. It is a multi-author article listing Pietro Ferrari, Erikka Loftfield, Keren Papier, Inge Huybrechts, and Heinz Freisling, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by Erikka Loftfield.
