DR TIM NOAKES

• Check out his website here!
• Believes in the good of LCHF
• South African doctor
• A writer of some really incredible books
  •  Check them out here
  • One of Vinnie's favorite is Waterlogged
    • There is no set amount of water that one person should drink
    • Different for every person
    • You can actually drink too much water!
• 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
