...part of the public wants to know facts about diet and health, and a big group of U.S. scientists wants to supply them. The man most firmly at grips with the problem is the University of Minnesota's Physiologist Ancel Keys, 57, inventor of the wartime K (for Keys) ration and author of last year's bestselling Eat Well and Stay Well. From his birch-paneled office in the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene, under the university's football stadium in Minneapolis ("We get a rumble on every touchdown"), blocky, grey-haired Dr. Keys directs an ambitious...
Three Breakfasts a Day. A man whose interest in food is sybaritical as well as clinical, Ancel Keys tends to regard his own life as one long experience of culinary concern. As a child in Berkeley, Calif., he satisfied his early (and still strong) yen for fresh fruits by stealing apples, apricots and cherries from neighborhood orchards.

Bright but unbridled, he disliked school, at ten spent three days camping with two young friends on the slopes...
...statement itself was hardly news, but its sponsorship was. Half reluctantly, the American Heart Association finally gave its blessing to the anti-cholesterol crusade. In one taut paragraph, it cautiously sanctioned the painstaking work of researchers such as New York's Dr. Norman Jolliffe and Minneapolis' Dr. Ancel Keys. Their research indicates, in essence, that saturated fats stimulate the body's production of cholesterol, which joins other substances to line and narrow the arteries, make them susceptible to blockages that can starve the heart or brain and cause death. A major part of the evidence comes from...
...sessions in St. Louis, even onetime skeptics were prepared to concede that abnormal quantities of fatty material in the blood should be regarded as one of the major factors in producing heart-artery disease.* Thirty-two papers were presented on the subject; the evidence seemed overwhelming. Said Minneapolis Physiologist Ancel Keys: "No one can say that the maintenance of a low level of blood cholesterol will positively prevent development of artery disease. We don't know that this is the answer in whole or even in large part. But it's like a person with hypertension...
