O-39 - Replacing one serving per day of eggs with nuts, legumes, whole grains or fish lowers incident CVD by 15-21 percent
Cohort-stratified cause-specific hazard models; all eight protein foods plus demographic/lifestyle covariates in one model (total food amount constrained). 1-serving/week HRs for eggs→fish/nuts/legumes/whole grains all ~0.97-0.99. Poultry as comparator: CVD 0.92 (0.84-1.01), non-significant.

Why this is evidence
Benefit from replacing eggs with fish/nuts/legumes/whole grains supports eggs being intrinsically worse than those foods (H-17) and cuts against H-23’s “eggs neutral vs fish/poultry/plant proteins.”
