jrhana,

Here is a quote from that article:

Citing the 20-year landmark Seven Countries Study conducted by Dr. Ancel Keys starting in the late 1950s, Dr. Ozner explains that a diet low in processed foods and saturated animal fats was found to produce the longest life expectancy in the world and the lowest heart disease rates in those living in the Mediterranean region. The study tracked more than 13,000 men from Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, Finland, Japan, and the US. Among its dramatic findings: Greek men were 90% less likely to die from a heart attack than American

Ancel Keys was a con man, and even after his death, he has influence over the dietary confusion. My advice is: when you see someone citing Ancel Keys as support for his diet / theory, run as fast as you can.
