[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 353948, member: 19121"] You really need to do some research rather than relying on dubious sources hana, Keys was actually a Scientist, I would have thought you would have known that, he did oversee a study that was known as the “Seven Countries Study” which was based on evidence between different diets which led him to rightly or wrongly surmise that he Mediterian diet was better than a diet made up of processed foods including executive saturated fats. It was researchers Yerushalmy and Hilleboe using the same data-set which Keys had shown strong relationship between dietary fat and atherosclerosis, pointed out even stronger positive correlation between animal protein intake and incidence of coronary heart disease, although this relationship exists with sugar as well, but was ignored. If you want to know more about him there is a lot of genuine information about, you could even start with a visit to Wikipedia [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys[/url] To dismiss him as just a statistician is inaccurate nonsense, some of his observations as a "scientist" have been found to be incorrect but that happens to all studies and our knowledge is constantly expanding. He also pioneered the BMI system of determining body fat which is still used today, not bad for someone you describe as a statistician eh? [/QUOTE]
