Eating eggs has negative health consequences
While moderate egg consumption may be relatively safe for the general population, studies indicate that excessive intake is associated with negative health consequences, including increased risks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.
The retrieved papers both point toward health risks, particularly elevated mortality and cardiovascular events, associated with high dietary cholesterol and excessive egg consumption in specific populations. The claim is supported by the provided evidence.
