Harvey had allowed Banting to take meat, including venison, poultry and fish-with no mention of trimming off the fat-in quantities up to 24 ounces a day which gives a calorie intake of about testing 2,800 when the alcohol and other things testing he ate and drank are included. By deliberately lumping fat and carbohydrate together where Harvey had tried to separate them, Dr. Niemeyer had effectively turned Banting's diet upside down, and the day was saved for the pundits. Niemeyer's explanation was eagerly accepted and "modified Banting" diets, based upon this phoney explanation, found their testing way into the text-books for the rest of the nineteenth century. While all this "rationalisation" of his diet was going on, William Harvey was feeling the cold draught of unpopularity with his colleagues and nine years after the publication of Banting's pamphlet he publicly recanted. He came into line with Dr. Niemeyer and explained apologetically: "Had Mr. Banting not suffered from deafness the probability is that his pamphlet would not have appeared."
