Eggs significantly increased growth and reduced stunting by 47 percent in young children

How do they decide that one particular food increased growth? My kids didn't lack for protein, but my son was so short until he hit puberty that well-meaning friends suggested he should be given growth hormones.
I have no problem with eggs being promoted as a good source of protein - I love them & eat them every single day - but I eat a lot of other things, too. Perhaps if the children in the study were malnourished, then one egg a day would be better. But how about one hamburger patty or other serving of meat?
