In 2014, Professor Tim Noakes was reported to the Health Professions Council of South Africa for giving unprofessional dietary advice. He was advocating a low-carb, high-fat diet... in a tweet.
What followed was a four-year legal process of Kafkaesque proportions. Should a top-level scientist have his life and legacy ruined by a tweet? And is there anything wrong with a low-carb diet in the first place?
Fortunately, Professor Noakes is a fighter, and he was certainly not about to give up.
Here's the story of Noakes' fascinating multi-year struggle, with interviews of people who participated, and video from the court case, in a Diet Doctor mini documentary.
Watch the trailer above ( transcript). The full documentary is available with a free trial or membership:
