The paper’s key finding for the eggs question: the largest pooled-genotype dataset shows no APOE-genotype difference in responsiveness to dietary cholesterol specifically, contradicting the common “ApoE4 hyper-responds to dietary cholesterol” claim.

Methodology
Pooled reanalysis of 395 mostly normolipidemic subjects drawn from several earlier controlled-feeding trials, with new APOE genotyping added retrospectively to the existing phenotype/response data. Serum-cholesterol/LDL-C responses to four dietary challenges (saturated fat, trans fat, dietary cholesterol, cafestol) were compared between APOE genotype groups (E3/3 vs E3/4 or E4/4).
