Re: Re-evaluation of the traditional diet-heart hypothesis: analysis of recovered data from Minnesota Coronary Experiment (1968-73)
Sir, the diet-heart hypothesis is firmly entrenched in the the minds of the lay people as the most intuitive explanation for CHD. It is the bedrock of standard cardiology practice and the basis of the statin industry. It is very difficult to imagine a cardiologist advising a patient to eat more butter and red meat even though you have showed that, that is what he should do! popular acceptance of the study findings face overwhelming odds.Thank God Ancel Keys is not around anymore...!
