Noakes hits back at researchers regarding the "balanced diet" Professor Tim Noakes, known for his controversial low-carbohydrate high-fat diet, has criticised researchers who have claimed that a balanced diet delivers the same results as a low-carbohydrate diet. In a recent article (see http://ift.tt/2idUdcb) co-published with British public health nutritionist Dr Zoe Harcombe, Noakes said 14 errors were found in the research his critics from Stellenbosch University and the University of Cape Town had conducted. He said the researchers, who published their work in Plos One, did not abide by their own research criteria. “When these 14 material errors are corrected, the conclusion of the paper is reversed and the low-carb diet outperforms the high-carb diets for weight loss,” Noakes told News24. Stellenbosch University said a formal response to the points of contention Noakes and Harcombe had raised would be submitted to the South African Medical Journal. See http://ift.tt/2jcrcKC
