Ancel Keys

Ancel Benjamin Keys (January 26, 1904 – November 20, 2004) was an American physiologist who studied the influence of diet on health. In particular, he hypothesized that dietary saturated fat causes cardiovascular heart disease and should be replaced with unsaturated fats. Modern dietary recommendations by health organizations, systematic reviews, and national health agencies corroborate this.
