Back in 2009, Dr Lustig in his Sugar: The Bitter Truth lecture criticized Ancel Keys for the same thing as in 2013: for not doing the multivariate regression of sugar and fat with the coronary heart disease mortality both ways.
He presented a snapshot of the several hundred pages publication of the 7 countries study, which I have copied here:
It is difficult to read, but it is legible. Ancel Keys found that the correlation between sucrose and coronary heart disease (CHD) was intercorrelated with saturated fat, which Dr Lustig described as a donut (sugar and fat). Furthermore, the snapshot says that with the partial correlation, when the fat is held constant, there was no significant correlation between dietary sucrose and the incidence of CHD. Dr. Lustig claims in both videos (2009 and 2013) that Ancel Keys did not do it the other way, keeping the sugar constant and showing that the saturated fat is still correlated with the CHD. Or did he?
Dr Lustig says:
“Do you see it anywhere? He (Ancel) did not do it. He only did it one way.”
Well, look at the image once more. Can you see the arrow I have put in there? The sentence has been cut and another text put under that line of text. The sentence ends unfinished with: ‘coronary heart’ and then another paragraph starts. Where is the remaining text?
Shall we look at the original text?
I am in a process of finding it but it is not easy. I will come back when I will have it. Or, somebody can post an answer for me or send me the scanned or otherwise reproduced part of test from that heavy publication where it is stated that Ancel Keys did it the other way, too.
For now I am posting here a print screen of a short video I watched 6 months ago, which claims that Ancel Keys DID it both ways. I believe this guy and if I am wrong with my trust here than call me a fool.
Does somebody have an access to the materials to confirm this?
From this it appears that Ancel Keys DID it the other way round too: holding sucrose constant and demonstrating a singnificant correlation between saturated fat and CHD. This ought to be the part Dr Lustig says Ancel Keys did not do.
What is going on here? I really do not know.
