Timothy Noakes, MBChb, MD, DSc
Who else made the list? Read here.
Dr. Tim Noakes is an avid sports scientist and ultramarathoner. But he became ultra-interested in nutrition when he realized his high carb diet gave him diabetes type II.
Going low carb/high fat reversed his diabetes and he admitted the old information about diet was wrong.
In an HVMN interview he said, "In about 2010, I suddenly realized I got it all wrong and decided that I better stop harming people because the books that I'd written said that high-carbohydrate diets are ideal. I realized I was wrong."

While he changed his stance, he said industries didn't like it. He had to defend his medical licence in South Africa and prove the previous science was wrong. He was adamant that he could no longer tell people that the typical food guide was healthy.
