Publisher's summary
Real Food on Trial continues the true and shocking story of a world-first: the unprecedented prosecution and persecution of Professor Tim Noakes, a distinguished scientist and medical doctor, in a case that stretched over more than four years. All for a single tweet giving his opinion on nutrition. Noakes and investigative journalist Marika Sboros have added up-to-date, robust scientific evidence in support of his views that launched the case against him.

Why, despite the many advances in science and technology over the past few decades, does our health only seem to be getting worse? Why, despite so much time and energy spent studying the foods we eat, are we more confused than ever about nutrition - what good nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health? The Future of Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the field of nutrition - with implications both for our health and for the practice of science itself.

Advice about food can be confusing. There's usually only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients - often the most enjoyable ones - are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron Carroll explains, these oversimplifications are both wrong and dangerous: if we stop consuming some of our most demonized ingredients altogether, it may actually hurt us.

Whether you are seeing a doctor, a nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise eating more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control while others believe it gives them more energy. Now, weight loss expert Dr. Garth Davis asks, "Is all this protein making us healthier?" The answer, he emphatically argues, is no.

Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life! Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease. Millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones. The truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue, like the arteries, leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox".

Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America’s obesity epidemic—it is wheat.

One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

The Nobel laureate Otto Warburg was widely regarded in his day as one of the most important biochemists of the 20th century, a man whose research was integral to humanity’s understanding of cancer. He was also among the most despised figures in Nazi Germany. As a Jewish homosexual living openly with his male partner, Warburg represented all that the Third Reich abhorred. Yet Hitler and his top advisors dreaded cancer, and protected Warburg in the hope that he could cure it.

You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

Eye-opening story -Highly recommended.
Nicely organized story of a doctor put on trial for not conforming to white coat orthodoxy. He dared to disagree with the norms of the day and the medical board administered draconian measures. They should be ashamed but they have none. Amazing borage of wild accusation, all of which were proven false. This story unfolds in a very graceful way. Highly recommended.

Great book on a man with integrity, facing the odds of the nutritionist
I love this fact, based book about health. I have been on the low carb diet now for about a year and that has helped my health exponentially. I have been on the diet by Dr. berg, which is called a ketogenic diet and have been amazed at how I can go without food for 72 hours and not even feel hungry. I have felt much better help on this diet. I highly recommend the low-carb diet for anyone who It’s to be healthy

A treatise on what's wrong with modern medicine
Professor Noakes will go down in history as a hero. What an ordeal. Every physician or dietitian who has ever parroted the low-fat, low-calorie, high-carbohydrate message to patients in the belief it's best for health should be required to read this book, or at least watch the videos of testimony provided at this trial (which can be found online). It's like a master class on human metabolism.
This book is not an easy read; it's dense, but for good reason. The narrators don't always get the pronunciations right; forr example, the male narrator mispronounced "remuneration" ("mun-" from the Latin word for money) as "renumeration" several times. But the quality of narration otherwise was very good.

More proof for why we should all be skeptical
When institutions have something to lose they respond by protecting themselves and truth takes a backseat. Then you get ridiculous behavior like what happened to Noakes. Truth won out in the end, as it always eventually does. Good book, good story.

Fantastic book
A really admirable story, backed with solid references and in-depth scientific information. I’m a big fan of Dr. Noakes and I’m thankful for his knowledge and courage for speaking the truth in a world where that is becoming increasingly challenging.

Brilliant Exposé
It is frightingly brilliant.
it is hard and sad to see the writing etched against the wall.
You have been lied to.
You are being deceived.

Scientific truth prevails. Insulin resistance solution.
Highly Inspiring and enlightening story of a courageous scientist who dared to change his mind based on the newly discovered evidence, was witch-hunted and emerged victorious! Thanks to people like Tim our world has hope! So much research is not done or hidden because of the financial interests. So many brilliant people are prosecuted for their success if financial interests are in stake. Yet Dr Noakes and Tim’s Angels exist!!! My heart is singing!
The book is chock full of science and rabbit holes to pursue.
Many of the facts, experts and references are very familiar to me thanks to my 20 years of nutrition studies. Some of the references mentioned in the book are on my “must read” list for the nutritionist I mentor.
I am going to dig through the names and studies mentioned and I am sure that it will make my health coaching even more solid.
