| Ancel Keys - Father of the MRE |
 |
Ancel Benjamin Keys (January 26, 1904 --
November 20, 2004) was an American scientist
who studied the influence of diet on health.
In particular, he hypothesised that different
kinds of dietary fat had different effects on
health.
In addition to his role in establishing
modern cardiovascular disease (CVD)
epidemiology, Keys was closely associated
with two famous diets: K-rations, formulated
as balanced meals for combat soldiers in
World War II; and the "Mediterranean diet",
which he popularized with his wife Margaret.
Science, diet, and health have been central
themes of his professional and private lives.
Early life
Keys attended the University of California,
Berkeley, where he received a B.A. in
economics and political science (1925), an
M.S. in biology (1929), and is a '30
University of California, San Diego Alumus
receiving a Ph.D. in oceanography and biology
from the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography.[1] He earned a second Ph.D. in
physiology at Cambridge in 1938. In 1936, he
became a professor at the University of
Minnesota, where he established the
Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene. Keys
directed the laboratory from 1939 until his
retirement in 1975.
Professional
During World War II, Keys studied starvation
and sustinence diets using 32 conscientious
objectors from Civilian Public Service as
test subjects in the Minnesota Starvation
Experiment, and eventually producing his
two-volume Biology of Human Starvation
(1950).[2] His interest in diet and CVD was
prompted, in part, by seemingly
counterintuitive data: American business
executives, presumably among the best-fed
persons, had high rates of heart disease,
while in post-war Europe, CVD rates had
decreased sharply in the wake of reduced food
supplies. Keys postulated a correlation
between cholesterol levels and CVD and
initiated a study of Minnesota businessmen
(the first prospective study of CVD),[3]
culminating in what came to be known as the
Seven Countries Study.[4] These studies found
strong associations between the CVD rate of a
population and average serum cholesterol and
per capita intake of saturated fatty acids.
Then, as now, critics have rightfully pointed
out that this "strong association" vanishes
when data from other countries are added to
the mix and there have been allegations that
Keys "cherry picked" the data to support his
hypothesis.
From the early 1950s, Keys actively promoted
his findings to an increasingly
health-conscious public. The resulting
"cholesterol controversy" revealed sharp
divisions in post-war scientific culture over
whether the statisticians' "strong
associations" could provide scientific
certainty. In its simplest form, the debate
over dietary fat and CVD pitted
"interventionists" against those calling for
further studies--preferably clinical or
laboratory studies. While Keys was able to
convince the US government to promote his
idea that reducing the intake of fat would
reduce the incidence of CVD, what happened in
the intervening years when Americans took
this advice indicates that Keys' basic
premise was wrong. While consumption of
dietary fat decreased from the 1960s to the
1990s, the rate of CVD did not change
substantially and the incidence of obesity
and Type II diabetes soared.
Keys was always considered an
interventionist. He generally shunned food
fads and vigorously promoted the benefits of
"reasonably low-fat diets," instead of
following "the North American habit for
making the stomach the garbage disposal unit
for a long list of harmful foods."[citation
needed] Keys' studies and recommendations
have had a substantial impact on changes in
the U.S. diet[citation needed] that may have
caused a downward trend in CVD.[1] although
several recent studies of low-carbohydrate
diets, essentially the opposite of Keys'
recommendations, have show that these diets
are more effective at improving markers of
CVD than low-fat diets. Because of his
influence in dietary science, Keys was
featured on the cover of the January 13, 1961
issue of Time magazine.
Ancel Keys died of old age on November 20,
2004, two months before his 101st
birthday.[5]

| Interview about BG&E with Michel Ancel in 2003 |
 |
Many fans of Beyond Good & Evil may not have
seen this interview before, so now it's
finally on Youtube for all to see. Michel
Ancel(who's currently working on Rayman
Raving Rabbids) says some very interesting
things about BG&E, like the "children in
war"-theme being inspired by the anime movie
Grave of the Fireflies. I highly recommend
that movie, by the way. I saw it because of
this interview and it's a very good movie.

Clip from the documentary "Fat Head." Guess
what? Fat and cholesterol don't cause heart
disease. The theory was based on bogus
science from the very beginning.
