Lore of Nutrition

In December 2010, Professor Tim Noakes was introduced to a way of eating that contradicted everything he had been taught about nutrition. After researching the topic for two years and watching the diet help his patients, Noakes enthusiastically revealed his findings—and was met with disdain from fellow scientists and doctors. He was accused of unprofessional conduct by South Africa’s Health Professions Council and charged with unprofessional conduct in April 2015. Although found not guilty on all accounts in 2017, Noakes has been persecuted for his views ever since. In Lore of Nutrition, he explains how these beliefs have changed the way he looks at food and how it has dramatically improved the health of his patients—and himself.
