Episode Description
“You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”
― Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Prof Tim Noakes enthusiasm is so evident as he explains, with scientific data, the importance of low carb, high fat diets in today’s society. At great personal and financial cost to himself, he has made this information available to everyone, hoping to save lives from the growing epidemic of diabetes and heart disease.
Dr. Risk’s Thoughts
It’s easy to forget that even the food industry has politics. Prof Noakes story is so inspiring. Facing persecution, he stood behind scientific data and fought in court. I am so glad that he did this, as it’s important that the information get out to everyone, and not be surpressed. Although I have always been aware of the politics in the health industry, it wasn’t until I started doing this show that I became aware of how strong they also are in the food industry. We need to be our own advocates in all areas so that the real information finds its way to main stream.
