Walter Julius Veith (1949—) is a scientist^[1], author and speaker known for his work in nutrition, creationism^[2] 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 transferral to man, as well as degenerative diseases caused by incorrect nutrition and particularly diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis and cancer. He is also concerned about the evolution 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.

Formerly a strong proponent of the theory of evolution, Veith is now a firm believer in creationism and speaks internationally on this and other topics. He has undertaken extensive tours to Europe, Africa and North America, and has written a number of books on the above topics. He is the keynote speaker of Amazing Discoveries, a non-profit ministry based in British Columbia. His body of extensive research can be acquired from their website. (www.amazingdiscoveries.org)
