<Ancel Keys was a con man> Although I can see why proponents of an Atkins diet might say that, critics of the Atkins diet have their own strong opinions about proponents of the Atkins diet. In other words, I think your characterization is completely unfair. Keys was apparently the original proponent of the Mediterranean style diet The guy did live to 100, so he must have been doing something right. nytimes.com Some critics accused him of "cherry picking" his data. But in a field like this, everyone could be accused of the same. This is an example from Davis's blog of misleading and meaningless pseudo science: heartscanblog.blogspot.com So nobody is free of sin and name calling does not always serve the search for truth IMO.
