I&#x27;m not referring to the journalists, I&#x27;m referring to the peer reviewed papers, and the scientific consensus regarding proper diet, that turned out to be not only false, but false in a way that likely could have been demonstrated with just a few, fairly straightforward research studies.<p>It starts, of course, with Dr. Ancel keys, but he wasn&#x27;t the only person who signed off on the consensus that a high-carbohydrate diet was the right model for the American people.<p>I use the scare quotes, because what took place after that, was probably the furthest thing from science you could imagine - presuming we agree that the objective of science isn&#x27;t to pile on the latest theory, but instead to strengthen those theories, by trying to disprove them.
