Prof Tim Noakes

[KevinPotts]

Great stuff!

Thanks Indy,
Having had an high GGT for several years I found this discussion interesting . Problem is, GGT being high may be due to another cause . Suspect my high ggt may be medication driven? All my other markers of metabolic disease are fine. regards Derek

I wish I knew what I had done to get the above text underlined then I may be able to undo it. This cheap smartphone does as it pleases!

Part 22 posted:

 

[KevinPotts]

As usual, brilliantly and passionately argued!

 

[AtkinsMo]

Another excellent piece from his evidence. I look forward to the cross examination, that should be interesting.

I read on Twitter recently that Zoe Harcombe and Nina Teicholz are going to be defence witnesses. Maybe it will even be adjourned again! Scandalous waste of money but it may just be the tipping point.

Part 23:

Thanks Indy, How long will it take for dietary advisors to get the message that carbohydrate causes obesity? D.

 

[AtkinsMo]

Yes, thanks again, another good piece of evidence. Still no news on whether Harcombe and Teicholz will be allowed to give evidence, I note.

Part 24 - NAFLD:

 

[lindisfel]

Hi Indy, Thanks for that, however still mystified with my own nafld when all my other metabolic markers are now reasonably good. It will be interesting seeing my latest bloods on Thursday. regards Derek

Part 25 - The Myth of Physical Inactivity & Obesity

 

[LucySW]

Just watched part 21. What a wonderful piece of advocacy. Bless him and all courage to him. What a wonderful man.

 

[AtkinsMo]

What an amazing man! He is so courageous.

 

[LucySW]

Indy, thank you so much for posting these. I've heard this all before, but never put forward and unified and pleaded so urgently. His account is so fresh, and so coherent, and he cares so much.

I should make clear for people who haven't realised it, these videos are the videotaped proceedings of Noakes's hearing for professional misconduct by the South African health and nutrition authority. He is fighting to clear his name. And, my goodness, that is what he is doing. And what a piece of learned, clear, persuasive, advocacy of science. Above all, he is defending the scientific method.

God bless him.

PS I just watched episode 20. It was amazing.

 

[lindisfel]

Hi Indy,
These videos just pile up the evidence that the current dietary guidelines are flawed.

In view of recent studies into diet in Europe...re: it is not saturated fat but carbohydrate causing CVD one hopes the advice on diet will soon change.
Thanks again
Derek

Part 26 - Prevalence of Type 2 after 1977 (seems like this might be the last video - appears to be his closing):

 

[KevinPotts]

Just watched the last 4, as been away in Tenerife for the last 3 weeks....still grateful that you post these for us all

The hearing re-started yesterday. if you do Twitter, Marika Sboros is tweeting minute by minute, and then at the end of the day she is writing a blog to summarise the day's events.

The first day seemed to go in Tim's favour, the HPCSA objected to Zoe Harcombe and Nina Teicholz as expert witnesses. They presented their case and took up half a day of precious time. The committee hearing the case ruled unanimously that Prof Tim could call these expert witnesses. Prof Tim has just finished presenting his evidence and the court has recessed for lunch. Tim'/ side suspect that the team presenting the evidence against him will stretch out his cross examination to 7 days, to prevent his witnesses being called. You couldn't make it up! We shall see.
