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:
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“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)
