1. They ran a sensitivity analysis that removed vegans yet still got the same result, so the egg gradient is still there among non-vegans.

2. They modeled swapping eggs for nuts/seeds/legumes and saw the same risk reduction. (Table 4)

I think the table isnt clear, but I think the claim for 2 is that nuts(ect) did not show the same reduction - the egg finding held up.
