In the next chapter, I explain how this degrading of human health was accelerated largely by the efforts of one man, Dr Ancel Keys, who, ignoring the work of McCarrison, Price, Cleave, Campbell and Yudkin, plunged the world into the worst health crisis in history. Keys was the father of what will be judged, in time, as the greatest mistake in modern medicine/science: the acceptance of the diet-heart and lipid hypotheses without adequate evidence.
