Too bad this myth is repeated once again. Ravnskov shows that this is completely wrong. Keys presented no such evidence. What he did was cherry-pick the data and include only those that supported his hypothesis. He neglected an abundance of contrary findings, both across and within countries. Under the rules of scientific induction, one solid finding against a hypothesis is fatal. It matters not how many confirmations a researcher comes up with. In other words, it doesn't matter how many white swans you find. All it takes to destroy the proposition "All swans are white" is one black swan.
