Ancel Keys - Criticism

Criticism

The research of Ancel Keys has been criticized in peer-reviewed published literature and as well as popular, non-peer reviewed laymen books offering contrarian idea's about nutrition, health and lipid metabolism. In 1957 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.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    ...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
