Ancel Keys
Ancel Benjamin Keys (January 26, 1904 – November 20, 2004) was an American scientist. He is known for researching human nutrition. Keys died when he was 100 years old.[1] Keys was the cover of the January 13, 1961 issue of Time magazine.[2]
He showed studies that saturated fats is the reason why heart disease is rising despite getting the results by cherrypicking the data.[3] He has criticized some work against sugars, one example in which:
It is clear that Yudkin has no theoretical basis or experimental evidence to support his claim for a major influence of dietary sucrose in the etiology of CHD; his claim that men who have CHD are excessive sugar eaters is nowhere confirmed but is disproved by many studies superior in methodology and/or magnitude to his own; and his "evidence" from population statistics and time trends will not bear up under the most elementary critical examination. But the propaganda keeps on reverberating ...[4][5]
Multiple studies already proved him wrong.[6]
