Ancel Benjamin Keys (January 26, 1904 – November 20, 2004) was an American physiologist known for his research on the impact of diet on health. He particularly proposed that substituting saturated fats in food with polyunsaturated fats reduces cardiovascular diseases. This concept was supported by modern dietary recommendations from health organizations and government agencies. Keys also studied hunger in men and published 'The Biology of Human Hunger' in 1950. Additionally, he examined cardiovascular disease epidemiology and promoted the K ration for World War II soldiers and the Mediterranean diet with his wife Margaret.
