Lol read the comments before watching. Decided NOT to watch....

He clearly doesn't know it all. He would like to position him self as an authoritativeness figure but he is not. What I can get over is, why so many of you take an defensive position to protect the current medical institutions, medical fraternities, that a lower down the food chain from Pharmaceutics companies that lobby and effectively control government medical regulator that dont do a good job of protecting you.
-
He admits he doesn't have a P.H.D and he's just making it up as he goes along. This guy is a con-artist. Don't bother wasting your time watching this trash.
-
Read a book called "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre.It might help some of you develop better critical thinking skills because by the looks of these comments, most of you are lacking in common sense.
-
How can people fall for this garbage. Google, what were you thinking when you invited this guy to talk to your people?
-
A lot of this smells like bullshit.
-
Totally compelling. Dead tired, but I still couldn't switch this video off . Such valuable information. So gladI found it. Thank you.
-
Two things: He has a very unfit appearance for someone purporting to know what fitness entails. Additionally, while he seems to have a common sense grasp of a good diet, much of his research is presented as anecdotal and conjecture. I know many very fit mentally healthy people who eat bread and drink milk. Adaptation is something he skims in the end, but I feel that is the rule.
-
His point was not to give you the research, it was to explain what he has learned. As an organic chemist, you can trust him to understand good verses bad information, and to understand the interworkings of food constituents. He will likely leave references in his book, however.

Quite brilliant.

A MOST valuable lecture! If you care not only about brain function, but also your health in general, this is a MUST watch! The only thing I did not see in this was the valuable role of Omega-3 fatty acids to help the body improve physiological functions which impact so much in the human body and which are ESSENTIAL and must be taken every day in the diet. Aside that, this lecture is one of the best I have listened to!
There is a serious problem in this lecture. Fowkes never provides us with any double blind randomized research (or any randomized researches at all) to support any of his claims.
