What would you do if you discovered that the food you have been told is right for you is in truth the cause of your ill health …?

In December 2010, Professor Tim Noakes was once introduced to a way of eating that was once contrary to everything he had been taught and was once accepted as conventional nutrition ‘wisdom’. Having observed the advantages of the low-carb, high-fat way of life first-hand, and after thorough and intensive research, Noakes enthusiastically revealed his findings to the South African public in 2012. The backlash from his colleagues in the medical establishment was once as swift as it was once brutal, and culminated in a misconduct inquiry launched by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. The subsequent hearing lasted well over a year, but Noakes in the end triumphed, being found not guilty of unprofessional conduct in April 2017.
In Lore of Nutrition, he explains the science at the back of the low-carb, high-fat/Banting diet, and why he champions this way of life despite the constant persecution and efforts to silence him. He also discusses at length what he has come to see as a medical and scientific code of silence that discourages anyone in the profession from speaking out against the current dietary guidelines. Leading food, health and medical journalist Marika Sboros, who attended on a daily basis of the HPCSA hearing, provides the fascinating backstory to the inquiry, which continuously reads like a spy novel.

Lore of Nutrition is an eye-opener and a will have to-read for anyone who cares about their health.
