Ancel Keys published the infamous "Seven Countries" study in 1943.
The same year, a less well-known article in one of the major journals
also showed that fat consumption did correlate with CHD--but that
carbohydrate consumption had a slightly higher correlation.

You should have no trouble finding a copy of the infamous seven
countries study. The other one, I have only a photocopy I took
from JAMA at the library. Might have been 1944 but I think it
was 1941.
For a thorough debunking of the seven countries study, read
chapter one of "The Cholesterol Myth" by Uffe Ravnskov.
Some of the Ravnskov's criticisms of Keys would seem to me
also applicable to the other study.

The countries with no heart disease are the countries with no
overeating.
Therefore, it remains much smarter to eat the right amount (32 oz) of
food daily:
