Interesting, will watch it later. I zapped through it, and there seems to be evidence in his speech. He unravels the low-fat high-carb myth, talks about the circadian rhythm & melatonin, common mineral and vitamin deficiencies, the harm of milk and gluten ("My suggestion is, don't eat bread and don't drink milk." audience laughing), hydrogenated fats, benefits of ketosis and more.

His basic advice is the paleo diet: meat, fruits, vegetables, nuts. No high-glycemic carbohydrates, non-starchy vegetables. No grains, no milk, no sugar.

By the way, Google is very interested in providing the best environment for their employees. They only serve organic foods, try to avoid toxins and organize this Google Tech Talks, which give their employees a great variety of knowledge and understanding of the world. Wonder how many employees there adopt the advice in, for example, this speech?

The talk will answer questions like:

1. Which nutrients promote optimal brain function?
2. What nutrients are commonly deficient enough to impair mental performance?
3. How can you get a better nights sleep without Ambien?
4. What nutrients counteract aspects of aging?
5. Is there an alternative to serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants?
6. What modern nutrition myths lead us to consume products that sabotage healthy brain function?
7. What tests can you get from your doctor?
8. What nutrients affect appetite, alertness, and tension?
9. What nutrient combo will prevent hangovers 90% of the time?
