Euh, I didn't mean to make a pun with brown stuff and trickle down, hehe. I meant once the trial ends, if it ends in favor of Noakes, it's going to be used by others elsewhere as precedent. The thing is the complaint used the phrase "not evidence-based", and Noakes is presenting all kinds of evidence in his defense. I don't think it's ever been done like this before, I mean in the context of law/diet/health. It's a big deal.
