O-19 - Substituting eggs with whole grains, nuts, yogurt or reduced-fat dairy lowers modelled T2D risk; other animal proteins no change
O-19 — Statistical substitution modelling (not observed behaviour): eggs rank worse than plant foods and dairy but equivalent to other animal-protein foods.

Why this is evidence
The egg-removal effect being comparator-dependent (benefit vs whole grains/nuts/dairy, none vs other animal proteins) supports the comparator-contingency members (H-18, H-23) over a fixed intrinsic rank; that eggs are equivalent to poultry/fish/legumes for T2D also cuts against H-17’s claim that eggs are worse than those sources. Not what H-38’s background-diet mechanism predicts.
