The idea that in these ‘modern’ times ideology and vested interests, as supposed to evidence based approaches, continues to dominate mainstream thinking in an area as important as human nutrition is hard to believe. A shame on ‘professionals’ who undermine advances in nutrition because of primal greed and fear. A credit to Noakes who was courageous enough to change his thinking when the evidence became clear. We are in debited to his tireless efforts to educate and shine a light on how our biology operates.
It's 2022!

In this article Prof Tim Noakes reviews two more recent publications from The Women’s Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Dietary Modification Trial which show that compared with postmenopausal women who continued to eat the more usual, higher-fat, supposedly heart-unhealthy control diet, postmenopausal women randomised to the intervention diet were at 47%–61% increased risk of developing additional CHD complications during a further 5 years of follow-up.
