Yes, it was disclosed in court that Kellogg's primarily funded those behind the HSPCA complaint. The academic researcher testimony was from a lower-tier South African university and frankly, it was embarrassing. It is well-known that international food chains were funding these folks and their organization, as identified in prior court testimony and public complaint link.

In the final analysis, the complainants presented no real evidence to support their claims. Noakes, on the other hand, presented irrefutable evidence from leading scientific studies and renowned experts link. See USA link and ZA link.

The HPCSA has been put under administration.

LOL You know I try, I really do. I try to give people opportunities to be more accurate in their claims.

There was no 'disclosure'. Julsing-Strydom has done consulting work for Kellogg's & the company does provide sponsorship for the ADSA. Noakes' attorney claimed that this may havec influenced her initial complaint. Julsing-Strydom denied this under oath.

Noakes did a solid job to support his beliefs, but he also included some sources that were far from scientifically useful (the magazines articles for example), but to claim that it amounts to 'irrefutable evidence' is a huge stretch.

Regardless that was all a side show, he was using the hearing as a bully pulpit for his diet ...which is fine but it wasn't really relevant. The only important point was that he didn't violate any HPCSA guidelines.

Like far too many you seem to have difficulty separating opinion from fact.

Would be helpful to have more clarity about exactly what he was charged with doing. Maybe I scanned the post too quickly, but it seemed to assume the reader was already up to speed.

Was it for suggesting breast milk over formula, or for a balanced diet with limitations on processed foods? Something else?

The basis of this was that a fan/reader of Prof Noakes' work, a young mother concerned about the possibility that a paleo diet of high fat dairy and vegetables like cauliflower could result in excess gastric distress for her infant, tweeted a question to Prof Noakes in 2014. Noakes tweeted one encouraging response.

He was then sued for providing this pro-paleo dietary advise to a nursing mother. Twice.

Honestly, I'd never heard of Tim Noakes before much of this broke in the past few months. Most Americans that have moved beyond Atkins initial popularity 20 years ago tend to gravitate towards contemporary books and blogs by Dr Michael Eades and Mark Sisson.

He wasn't sued. He was charged with unprofessional conduct by the medical regulatory body in South Africa. He was found not guilty of the charges in the initial hearing which the body then appealed. The original verdict was upheld earlier this month, ending the case & clearing him.

Well, I won't stoop to playing the man, but I think my academic CV would suggest otherwise.

I would be quite hapoy to debate the merits f tge opposing sides more rigorously, but you ars going to need to bring mire than opinions.

For example, count the number of citations the scholars who testified in defense of Noakes. This trial actually was the final salvo from a decade of attempts to silence one of the worlds leading sports exercise and nutition icons (his H-index for nutrition articles is 45). Facts are the peer-reviewed scientific literature in this matter and, if you want to have that debate, we can continue.

What you don't know, is that this case---and those that preceded it, as well as the attempts to bring people in as "experts" to pretend in public fora that science did not support Noakes. The witness was forced to admit that she recieved from the foid industry. These issues and the international web of activity to suppress nutrition research in this regard have been well ventilated on radio and in the media here and during the trial and in Noakes new book (see e.g., link). The food industry has been visible in it's support for the pogrom against Noakes and others advocating high fat low carb diets. The issue is that someone who gas consulted as she did has a conflict of interest, but also that she has a very modest standing as a researcher and her expertise is not really in this field. Even the way this case was presented smacks of ethical issues (e.g., surprise witness, link). Hell, that witness testified against the ethics of Noajes advice, which was part of the government's guidelines
Drawn by a committee on which she served.

I think there is another misunderstanding. Perhaps you might also want to read the trial transcripts to understand why the articles from the press were introduced? Or shed some light on why the opposing expert not only lacked citations in the scientific literature in this specific domain or why one was so embarrassed she claimed she worked on her report on only one night due to the pressure of grading exams?

Your points reveal absolute lack of awareness of the campaign against Noakes by processed food manufacturers, which is not surprising given that you are a continent away. Also, the pattern of involvement of international food companies. The attacks continues, look at last tweet on 26 May, which is a hilarious put down in a series of tweets highlighting the hypocrisy.

Given that we are the last rwo Pirates fans alive, I leave it there.

EMERGING SCIENCE OF CARBOHYDRATE RESTRICTION AND NUTRITIONAL KETOSIS
Scientific Sessions at the Ohio State University
16-17 August 2018

And, to think, you heard it here first on Buckeye Planet. I told you guys the Buckeyes were aware of the advantages of Noakes diet. Ohio State is convening a conference of world experts on this diet. You can see Noakes as the opening day keynote speaker and opening speaker in session 5, speaking on the keto diet and its application in improving sports performance.

From the Ohio State conference website

"An impressive body of scientific evidence over the last 15 years documents long term benefits of carbohydrate-restricted, especially ketogenic, diets. We now understand molecular mechanisms and why they work. Popular books and articles now challenge the advice ‘carbohydrates are good and fats are bad.’ Circa mid-19th century urinary ketones were identified in diabetics sealing their toxic label for the next 150 years. Despite work four decades ago showing ketones were highly functional metabolites, they are still misidentified as toxic byproducts of fat metabolism. The vilification of fat by regulatory and popular dogma perpetuates this myth. But the nutrition-metabolic landscape is improving dramatically.

A growing number of researchers have contributed to what is now a critical mass of science that provides compelling clinical evidence that ketogenic diets uniquely benefit weight loss, pre-diabetes, and type-2 diabetes. In the last five years, basic scientists have discovered that b-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary circulating ketone, is a potent signaling molecule that decreases inflammation and oxidative stress. BHB has been suggested to be a longevity metabolite, with strong support from recently published mouse studies showing decreased midlife mortality and extended longevity and healthspan. Although type-2 diabetes is often described as a chronic progressive disease, emerging evidence indicates that sustained nutritional ketosis can reverses the disease. There is growing interest in studying potential therapeutic effects of ketosis on cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. There are even reasons certain athletes may benefit from nutritional ketosis and ketone supplements ─ debunking the long-standing dogma that high carbohydrate intake is required to perform optimally.

With the support of the well-established Ohio State Food Innovation Center, this conference will bring together the top experts in these fields to share what has been achieved and what remains to be done to advance this exciting field of scientific discovery. The program is also supported by OSU Continuing Medical Education Office, offering up to 15 AMA PRA Category 1 credits (see the registration page for more details on CME credit). This program also provides 15 hours of Continuing Professional Education Units from the Commission on Dietetic Registration."


Here is Noakes CV from the OSU website.


Tim Noakes, MD, PhD
Professor Emeritus, Cape Town University
Founder, The Noakes Foundation

Professional Website

Prof Noakes was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1949. As a youngster, he had a keen interest in sport and attended Diocesan College in Cape Town. Following this, he studied at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and obtained an MBChB degree in 1974, an MD in 1981 and a DSc (Med) in Exercise Science in 2002.

In the early 90s, Noakes teamed up with Morné du Plessis to drive the founding of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA). The Institute was built to provide a facility that would primarily fund research in sports performance. The application of this research would provide sports personnel of all disciplines with the means to improve. Noakes and du Plessis also wanted to use it as a platform to build public interest in the country’s top sports people and build state pride.

Prof Noakes has published more than 750 scientific books and articles. He has been cited more than 16 000 times in scientific literature, has an H-index of 71 and has been rated an A1 scientist by the National Research Foundation of South Africa for a second 5-year term. He has won numerous awards over the years and made himself available on many editorial boards.

He has a passion for running and is still active, running half marathons when he can. He is a devoted husband, father and grandfather and now, in his retirement, is enjoying spending more time with his family.
