The new study's results aren't generalizable to people with high cholesterol. For instance, eggs can raise LDL levels if you have familial hypercholesterolemia.

People with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH): FH is a genetic condition that impairs the liver's ability to regulate cholesterol. People with FH cannot compensate effectively for dietary cholesterol intake, so eggs do raise LDL in this population m...

While egg yolks are high in cholesterol, it is saturated fatty acids that have a greater effect on our blood cholesterol levels.

For the general healthy population, eggs can be included as part of a heart-healthy eating pattern.

In Japan, a large cohort study published in 2006 showed that daily or nearly daily egg consumption did not increase the incidence of coronary heart disease. Conversely, a recent US study associated high egg consumption with increased cardiovascular d...

When it came to eggs, each half egg caused a 6% and 8% increased risk, respectively.

Some people have familial hypercholesterolemia, a condition that genetically predisposes them to elevated cholesterol levels. This increases your sensitivity to dietary cholesterol, which is found in eggs. In this case, it’s often recommended to limi...

For most people, in most situations, we are more similar than different. [...] there is currently insufficient evidence to support truly personalized nutrition for most people.

Despite years of sensational internet conspiracies suggesting it could create black holes or portals, the shutdown is simply routine.

Scientists’ conclusions about risk cannot be taken at face value. Their assurances must be discounted by the probability of their own error. [...] It does not follow that LHC risk is zero: An accurate assessment of risk must include the possibility t...

Black holes DO NOT EVAPORATE — hence they can only grow. [...] Inside matter, a resident black hole will not grow linerally but rather — via self-organization — form a so-called “miniquasar”: an electro-gravitational engine that grows exponentially, ...

This is still a viable conspiracy theory that could be true. As far as I'm concerned, it's more likely to be true than the wet market origins. So, I think that's why, again during COVID, what I would have liked to see is our public policymakers and p...

In the 78-page document, we determined that most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 has a zoonotic origin, meaning that it came from an animal.

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete.

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete.

The majority of virologists and epidemiologists who have examined the question conclude that the available evidence favors a natural spillover origin. No credible evidence links NIH-funded research to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

For context, the majority of virologists support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a zoonotic spillover event that occurred in the vicinity of a wet market in Wuhan.

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and other IC leaders “influenced” the CIA and others involved in COVID intelligence analyses to suppress evidence that the virus most likely resulted from a lab leak in China.

In this observational study, VDD was significantly associated with an increased risk of HNC, with consistency across subtypes and a dose-response gradient. However, the observational design precludes causal inference, and residual confounding cannot ...

This includes the largely observational evidence base, and with it, unmeasured confounding and determining causality (or ruling out reverse causality).
