@tfchealth: One tweet about feeding a baby cost a world-famous scientist four years of his life. He'd spent a career telling runners to load up on carbs. Then he went back to the evidence, decided he'd got it wrong, and said so out loud. When a new mother asked him on Twitter whether low carb was safe while breastfeeding, he replied: the breast milk does the work, just wean onto real food instead of sugary cereal. A senior dietitian reported him. The medical council put him on trial. It ran four years. The verdict: cleared, completely. The panel called his tweet sound and said it could not have harmed anyone. They appealed. They lost that too. Changing your mind when the evidence changes isn't misconduct. It's the job. Send this to anyone who's ever been punished for asking an honest question. 📷 Ahodges7 / CC BY-SA 3.0 #TimNoakes #lowcarb #scienceontrial #ancestralhealth #tfchealth
