Is Tim Noakes the Malema of Medicine?
21 September 2012 04:28 - Martinique Stilwell
World-famous sports scientist Tim Noakes has recently turned the food
pyramid on its head. Could he be right?

Tim Noakes is busy. In addition to his usual duties as a professor at the
Sports Science Institute of South Africa in Cape Town where he conducts
research and lectures students, he has been fielding up to 200 queries a
week about his diet from individuals and the media. On the morning of our
interview his name appears in the papers again.
.
A group of six doctors, comprising cardiologists and University of Cape
Town academics, have written to the Cape Times suggesting that Noakes has
gone too far in claiming his low-carb, high-fat diet is suitable for all
patients, and that his statements about statins, a class of cholesterol-
lowering drug, are at best unwise and may be harmful.
too.

The charismatic rebel professor first gained popular acclaim in 1985 as a
27-year-old wunderkind when he published Lore of Running, a tome of
biblical proportions, which is now in its fourth edition and for years
most serious runners have considered it gospel. Following Noakes's advice
on nutrition, athletes began carbo-loading religiously to improve their
performance. Bruce Fordyce and Paula Newby-Fraser, both exceptional
ultra-endurance athletes, became but two of his many high-profile
followers.
.
Noakes' academic career took off. He published a paper in a prestigious
American scientific publication describing, for the first time, the
uncommon, but occasionally life-threatening condition of
exercise-associated hyponatraemia (low blood sodium). The paper was
initially met with mixed responses and some scepticism, but his continued
research in the field of fluid balance, in which he challenged powerful
sports drink companies, came to the sensible and scientifically sound
conclusion that athletes should drink when they are thirsty and stick to
water.

Everybody agrees that a low-carb, high-fat diet can cause rapid weight
loss, but the regimen is not without acute dangers. Type one diabetics may
develop renal failure or go into hypoglycaemic coma, and patients with
elevated triglycerides risk contracting potentially fatal pancreatitis.
The long-term benefits of the diet remain unclear and, just as short-term
athletic performance does not always equate with longevity, weight loss
does not always equate to good health. Skinny people have heart attacks
too.
.
Noakes has swung from high carbs to no carbs. The most widely accepted
research suggests something in between. Avoid transfats, sugars and
refined carbohydrates, eat a calorie-restricted, balanced diet with whole
grains, protein and healthy fats, exercise in moderation and, if you are
thirsty, drink water.
