THE NOAKES TRIAL - FOODMED.NET
Welcome to Foodmed.net’s one-stop exclusive coverage and unique insight into the “Nutrition Trial of the 21st Century”
as the hearing against world-renowned South African scientist Prof Tim Noakes is known. Here, you’ll find all the history
and background of the Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) case against him.
The HPCSA has charged Prof Noakes, a world-renowned scientist, with “unprofessional conduct for giving unconventional advice on a social network (Twitter)”. That was for a single tweet way back in February 2014 saying that good first foods for infant weaning are low-carb, high-fat. In others words, he was saying: give infants meat, fish, chicken, eggs dairy and vegetables.
The hearing resumes in Cape Town from April 4 and 5, 2017, for legal argument from lawyers for both sides. Thereafter, the chair of the panel hearing the charge against him, Pretoria advocate Joan Adams, will rule. Watch this space! For Live Tweeting follow me @MarikaSboros

By Marika Sboros There is so much that is so bizarre about dietitians trying to bully world-famous scientist Prof Tim Noakes into silence that I hardly know where to start.

By Marika Sboros In its case against world-famous scientist Prof Tim Noakes, the Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) is leaving no stone unturned. It also appears to believe it should leave no right unbreached as well. That’s according to evidence presented yesterday during the February 2016 hearing. That evidence didn’t go down well with…
