Professor Noakes found innocent (again)! The trial is finally over
The trial of Professor Tim Noakes is finally completely over, and he has been definitely found innocent.
Professor Noakes was first acquitted in April 2017, but that decision was appealed. This appeal has now been dismissed, finally ending the four-years long trial.
Tim Noakes is a true hero for standing up and fighting this all the way, for years. Like earlier trials of low-carb doctors, like Dr. Annika Dahlqvist in Sweden (also fully acquitted back in 2008), it shows that there is solid scientific support for recommending low-carb diets. If that support has to be investigated or tested in court it holds up.
Hopefully this trial and the hard work put in by Professor Noakes and his team will result in many more doctors around the world feeling confident enough to promote low carb as a safe and effective treatment for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

What a success for not just South Africa, but for the world!
Now Gary Fettke MD of Australia needs to be exonerated!
They were deliberately trying to suppress nutritional and medical knowledge that has helped - and can continue to help - countless people. Disgusting and completely immoral. How many diabetics have needlessly gotten their limbs amputated, or gone blind, following their ill-conceived advice? Then when someone dares challenge that advice, with better evidence, they try to destroy his life.
I hope someone who was involved in the persecution of Noakes reads this:
The utter contempt I have for you cannot be expressed in words, and I'm very sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. You are nothing more than self-serving, state-sanctioned quacks who put your own advantages and positions above freedom of expression, scientific truth, and most importantly the human health which you hypocritically claim to work toward. You lost, and you absolutely deserved it.
Are we not today in a position where this should change? Is anyone in Sweden driving the process to change this?
By perservering these last four years, you have brought to light the determination by Big Food to keep us buying their products at the cost of our world health, world economy, and our very lives.
You have actually turned their efforts against them, quite publically, and I hope it sets a precedent worldwide.
The message is this: The world is changing, and Big Food should spend their money on re-tooling, rather than on marketing propaganda and lies. Denial is not a good business model!
Thanks, on behalf of all of us who are trying to find the truth for our health and our world!
We need to fight the good fight for Gary Fettke here in Australia.
I support Gary Fettke and believe in his message.
