The study cited saw a correlation between egg consumption & early death over 30,000 people studied. It didn't establish causation. In Asia, studies and historical evidence point to the opposite conclusion. TLDR It's probably not the egg, but the stick of butter you cooked it in https://heart.bmj.com/content/104/21/1756
