You know, Darwin only had a theory. It was other people who made it into a secular religion, basically.
The response to Keys is in the same position. He should have served as a warning to others as soon as studies started proving him wrong. But an entire field of {censored} people for years and years and DECADES AND DECADES hid their data, hid entire huge studies!, “re-interpreted” and subjectively selected data to publish, and more. And not just that: people who disagreed with Keys at the time, and later, and still later, were either ignored or often vilely attacked.
It’s been nearly half a century since Keys’s fraudulent 7 Countries Study – and the equally fraudulent ‘interpretation’ book on The China Study (which Denise Minger so brilliantly shredded) – and science itself, all over the place, has now learned better.
The 2020 Dietary Guidelines are here. And as always, they are a nightmare for health. Although they are very productive for the USDA’s primary agenda (sell grain and produce worldwide), and downright lucrative for everything from pharma corps to the medical field to funeral homes. The shocking amount of money generated off poor health in humans is an entire parasitical global industry. Much like in the movie The Matrix, the AI lived off humans as batteries, right now corps – and governments as part of that – are basically doing the same thing. Never mind taxes and buying TVs, it is pseudo-food/drink that is the big income of the day. Because it’s the indirect money that is far bigger.
In the military, there are weapons and attempts to take down one man but leave him alive, not dead. Then it takes a few of his buddies to try and carry him out of the combat zone. That may sound like a failure but in fact it’s more effective for the overall goal. Well similarly, it is not in commercial best interests to outright kill us. Just to make us need multiple medications for the rest of our lives, multiple surgeries, and so on. That is far more productive economically.
My point is that Ancel Keys is like… a lot of situations in the world. They are what they are – some good, some bad, some both – but it is those with an agenda who immediately move in and pick it up and run with it.
Keys is responsible for a fraudulent study because despite being previously a good scientist, he turned out to be affected by a huge personal bias. It happens. And the point of science replication is precisely to PREVENT this kind of human nature issue from mucking up the health of nearly everyone on planet earth for the next half century.
Keys is not responsible for that. There are endless bad studies for various reasons. Science is not comprised of one guy’s study. It is money and politics and a huge boatload of other people that made all this into a food religion.
