“The Nutrition Trial of the Century” With Prof. Tim Noakes Restarts Today 17/10/2016

Starting today, Professor Tim Noakes will again stand trial for a Twitter conversation (!) in 2014 where he recommended that babies should be weaned onto an LCHF diet.

The trial has been labeled “the nutrition trial of the century” as it, at its core, is a battle between conventional dietary advice and using low-carb advice to help revolutionize people’s health:

Cape Town - The Health Professions Council South Africa on Friday issued an apology after admitting to jumping the gun on the verdict over Professor Tim Noakes.

"The previous statement is retracted and we apologise for incorrectly stating that Prof Tim Noakes was found guilty by the Professional Conduct Committee," said the statement.

Early on Friday afternoon, the council sent out a media statement announcing that Noakes had been found guilty of unprofessional conduct.

"It's not true," Noakes's irate lawyer Adam Pike said. "It is impossible for them to make a finding," he said.

Closing arguments will be heard and a verdict will be made in April 2017.

Contempt of Court comes immediately to mind.
