OMG you didnt just refer to the moronic and corrupt Ancel Keys and his
so called science!?? Ugh people are so ignorant its sad. What planet
are you living on?? His so called Lipid Hypothesis has been
thoroughly debunked.

The Lipid Hypothesis
The theory—called the lipid hypothesis—that there is a direct
relationship between the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in
the diet and the incidence of coronary heart disease was proposed by a
researcher named Ancel Keys in the late 1950's. Numerous subsequent
studies have questioned his data and conclusions. Nevertheless, Keys'
articles received far more publicity than those presenting alternate
views. The vegetable oil and food processing industries, the main
beneficiaries of any research that found fault with competing
traditional foods, began promoting and funding further research
designed to support the lipid hypothesis.

In 1956, an American Heart Association (AHA) fund-raiser aired on all
three major networks. The MC interviewed, among others, Irving Page
and Jeremiah Stamler of the AHA, and researcher Ancel Keys. Panelists
presented the lipid hypothesis as the cause of the heart disease
epidemic and launched the Prudent Diet, one in which corn oil,
margarine, (just one example of his criminality) chicken and cold
cereal replaced butter, lard, beef and eggs. But the television
campaign was not an unqualified success because one of the panelists,
Dr. Dudley White, disputed his colleagues at the AHA. Dr. White noted
that heart disease in the form of myocardial infarction was
nonexistent in 1900 when egg consumption was three times what it was
in 1956 and when corn oil was unavailable. When pressed to support the
Prudent Diet, Dr. White replied: "See here, I began my practice as a
cardiologist in 1921 and I never saw an MI patent until 1928. Back in
the MI free days before 1920, the fats were butter and lard and I
think that we would all benefit from the kind of diet that we had at a
time when no one had ever heard the word corn oil."

The American Medical Association at first opposed the
commercialization of the lipid hypothesis and warned that "the
anti-fat, anti-cholesterol fad is not just foolish and futile. . . it
also carries some risk." The American Heart Association, however, was
committed. In 1961 the AHA published its first dietary guidelines
aimed at the public. The authors, Irving Page, Ancel Keys, Jeremiah
Stamler and Frederick Stare, called for the substitution of
polyunsaturates for saturated fat, even though Keys, Stare and Page
had all previously noted in published papers that the increase in CHD
was paralleled by increasing consumption of vegetable oils. In fact,
in a 1956 paper, Keys had suggested that the increasing use of
hydrogenated vegetable oils might be the underlying cause of the CHD
epidemic.

It is not hard for a reasonably intelligent person who actualy
investigates this to see Ancel Keys was just one of the many creatures
owned by the edible oils industry to promote their poisons along with
Harvard's Frederik Stare and others. They all knew the truth and
simply changed their views after they were bought off. There IS NO
SCIENCE to support their lie that animal fats are bad and OVERWHELMING
support that it is healthy and essential. If you really have any
interest in knowing the truth it is quite simple to educate yourself.
The book "The Cholesterol Myths" by Uffe Ravnskov is one of the best
books with comprehensive review of decades worth of research and
debunking of all the myths and lies about fat (animal fat being bad
and polys being good)
