Review: Superb book, shining a light on the shady dealings of the dietetics and pharmaceutical industries. - I suppose I have been a medical dogma sceptic for many years. It all started off with Malcolm Kendrick and Cholesterol. I have been following what I used to call The Atkins Diet, and I now call ‘Banting for Health’ for some 5 years. During that time I have brought my blood sugar strictly under control, reduced my blood pressure from its highest of 220/140 to low / normal, lost 25kg in weight, eliminated GERD and am now medication free, except for an anticoagulant. So I suppose I am another ‘anecdote’ which the sceptics who will say is no evidence that the LCHF diet is effective or advisable for people. Prof Noakes is my hero! Even after seeing what going against mainstream advice has done to the careers and credibility of others, he felt that he had no alternative to share the truth that he had discovered with the wider public, to try to contribute to halting the Public Health disaster that is a world wide issue. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it is written in an entertaining style, but reveals the great hurt and distress that the Prof endured. Marika Sboros, who did a great service to the LCHF community and also to the cause of justice and transparency, in reporting the shady goings on of the witch-hunt trial against Prof Noakes, makes an excellent contribution to the book, reflecting on the twists and turns in the prosecution case and putting all the evidence in perspective. Prof Noakes and Marika Sboros are to be applauded for this book, it is a good read, insightful and informative. I finished it in 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed it. For anybody suffering from a huge variety of inflammatory conditions, type 2 diabetes of course, but many others, this book will help you to understand the influence that big food, but also big pharmaceuticals have, in keeping us ill. Their motivation is to make profit, not to help us to get well. Highly recommended!
Review: Excellent and sometimes shocking read - OK I've been bought into the whole LCHF thing for years now, it just seems so obvious to me, essentially for all of the reasons laid out in this book. Notwithstanding that admitted bias on my part it is shocking how the nutritional powers that be behaved so appallingly in their cynical attempt to silence a dissenting voice. Also shocking how people who consider themselves to be decent scientists can so blatantly refuse to even entertain the notion that they could be wrong. I myself am a pretty experienced biological scientist and I've seen how difficult it is for people to turn away from their dogmatic beliefs, so not all that suprising really but a sad feeling that we who are supposed to be objective and evidence based still frequently get it so very, very wrong. Tim Noakes though is what a scientist should be - capable of turning away from cherished beliefs in the face of new and convincing evidence. It takes courage and honesty to do that. The "evidence" that the HPCSA brought to the Noakes trial was pathetic and Noakes' legal team took them apart; it would be funny in places if wasn't a serious attempt to destroy the reputation of a truly honourable and outstanding scientist. Whatever your dietary beliefs or preferences, please buy this book and read with an open mind - then go and look up some of the references on PubMed or similar and verify for yourself that none of this is made up or plucked out of thin air. Oh and cut out the sugar!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vindication for Professor Noakes!
*by E***S on 16 September 2019*

This is a fascinating, in-depth though somewhat long-winded account of the expensive and totally needless Cape Town trial which commenced after a tweet. The whole thing seems to have been vindictive in the extreme and the dignity of Prof Noakes is to be applauded. Certain vested interests (Big Sugar, Big Pharma, Big Food) eager to quash the Low Carb, High Fat message. Sorry, but the evidence is out there. The title of the book is a bit misleading, but this is a minor quibble.
