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:
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
