Walter Veith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Julius Veith (*1949) is a scientist, author and speaker known for his work in nutrition, creationism and other Christian topics. He studied zoology at the University of Stellenbosch and obtained his doctorate in zoology from the University of Cape Town in 1979.

His research field is nutritional physiology and his research concentrates on the effect of modern animal husbandry on the incidence of disease transferal to man, as well as degenerative diseases caused by incorrect nutrition and particularly diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis and cancer. But he is also concerned about the impact of the use of antibiotics in producing a new breed of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which are causing food poisoning epidemics around the world. He was honored with the Royal Society London Grant for (RDP) the Reconstruction and Development Program to establish a research climate in post-apartheid South Africa.

Professor Veith believes in creationism. He lectures internationally on this topic, has undertaken extensive tours to Europe, Africa and North America, and has written a number of books on the above topics. One of his most thought-provoking religious lecture series is called "Total Onslaught," in which he uses the book of Revelation as a springboard to get into the details of the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan and how this is related to current events.
