Noakes had to go through a really difficult trial because he advised a low carb high fat diet to a patient He was, of course, found innocent of doing anything wrong His new book is about the trial, called Nutrition on Trial About all of the smear-attempts, and the trial itself Marika helps him out in this Also talks about how low carb is real good for the insulin resistant Hopes it will help young doctors change the 'typical' ways Came across low carb because he changed his lifestyle, began running a lot He felt awful when he ran Saw some evidence on the Atkins diet, changed to a low carb diet Has had no sweets and incredibly limited carbs over the last number of years Now, his health in general is SO much better Has done a lot of good research, as well Prosecutors went against the constitution just to get Dr. Noakes to trial It was such a pointed and nasty prosecution They just didn't want any ideas that contradicted with their own financial gain gaining traction just like Noakes' ideas were The whole trial seemed like a joke because it was so fabricated and ridiculous Sugar kills Frightens Dr. Noakes to see how people are hurting themselves on the inside, even though for about 20% of the population nothing changes on the outside STATINS Does not believe in the hype around statins Cholesterol is not as simple or as bad as the industry tries to make it Statins really are not beneficial The side effects truly make it not worth it Not reported because the industry controls the results
