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.

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.

A 20 hour therapy session.

Let me start by saying that I agree with almost everyone Dr. Tim Noakes and his co author Marika Sboros have to say about nutrition science and the real culprit of the diseases of civilization that have cropped up during this century. And yes, I agree Noakes was a victim here but he never lets you forget it. It's not quite whining, but it's close and the defensiveness in the book blunts the main message he has which again, I think is correct. In the end, I liked the story, liked the book, but didn't like the person.

The Truth will prevail

Until more doctors like Tim speak out about the truth-the Food and Pharmaceutical industry's influence on nutrition guidelines, we will continue to be sick.

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.

Shocking reminder that politics and money are often arrayed against the truth

This is the story of how Tim Noakes, one of the world’s top scientists, was punished by South Africa’s medical association for daring to say what the evidence shows: Processed food harms and real food heals.

What ultimately landed Noakes in a legal trial was a single Tweet, but along the way through the twists and turns of the preliminary hearing and the appeal, it became evident that Noakes had fallen foul of the enormous vested interests of universities, professional organizations, food industries, and international pharmaceutical interests. It became imperative to teach him a lesson. Giving him a spanking in public would be a warning shot across the bows of any other dissident scientist. So, the medical regulatory body spent millions of South African Rand in an effort to silence him.

This is the story of the trial.

I won’t recount it all here, but if you have an interest in crime drama, or in politics, or if you’re wondering why everyone in your neighborhood has gotten sick and fat; this is a book for you! It doesn’t matter that you’ve never even thought of going to Cape Town in your life, the characters in this real-life story are familiar to us all, especially Prof. Noakes himself, force to choose between taking a punishment he didn’t deserve and slinking into obscurity with bank account intact, or to defend his honor and reputation regardless of cost.

Highly recommended reading (or listening to the expertly read audiobook). This book gave me hope for our collective chances.

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

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.

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.
