NextThe Swedish National Board of Health & Welfare
Hears Dr. Annika Dahlqvist.
Like the Supreme Court, in Sweden. It's a court of experts and their "Verdicts are final".
They are very conservative and careful in the language they use.
Dr Dahlqvist, was praised for “best practice.”
Exercise has little if any effect on weight.
Other important findings:
A very strict Low Carbohydrate High Fat Diet, is best for weight loss.
A Low Carbohydrate High Fat Diet, improves blood glucose stability for people with diabetes.
Prof Tim Noakes in Court
Noakes is facing a charge of unprofessional conduct for giving unconventional advice to a breastfeeding mother on a social network (Twitter). That was for a single tweet in February 2014 saying good first foods for infant weaning are low-carb, high-fat (LCHF).
Johannesburg dietitian Claire Julsing Strydom, president of the Association for Dietetics in SA (ADSA) at the time, reported him to the Health Professionals Council of South Africa.
As in Sweden Similar in South Africa
The HPCSA thought they had an easy open and shut case. They arrived in court woefully unprepared for the challenge that Prof. Noakes mounted. Noakes demanded the right to give evidence and to call witnesses.
This case continued over many months. There were ten counts; Prof. Noakes was found "Not Guilty" on all ten.
