I've spent the last 12 months writing this @CrossFitHealth series on the great Ancel Keys Cholesterol Con. This column introduced 70 key events that happened over the past 100 years which first established the Con and then helped sustain it right to today

The reason why I've spent so long on this project is because since 2012 I've been accused repeatedly of "cherry-picking" evidence. Of course that's nonsensical since in my #HPCSA trial, as reported in #RealFoodonTrial, I presented 9.5 days of testimony without "cherry picking"
In these 70 events I've included every single (credible) study that has ever been used to support Keys Great Cholesterol Con. There is no "cherry picking". Which would be silly anyway since, when properly analysed, there are none, as far as I can see, that support his hypothesis.
Next time someone defends low-fat diet as proven beyond shadow of doubt (whereas low-carb diet is "evidence-poor"), please refer them to this column and supportive evidence that I present in next 10 or so @CrossFitHealth columns. We need all med doctors and students to read them
By the way, Professor holding article in this picture is Prof John Brock formerly Professor of Medicine at @UCTHealthSci, ironically my alma mater. Brock was co-author of one of very first Keys papers describing study of Cape Town males, "cherry picked" to support his hypothesis.
