Aside from the ridiculous (See: Autism and Vitamin D):
So I should get exercise, moderate sunlight, eat healthy omega-3's and vitamin D's (also moderately) and not fried obesity food, and sleep in a dark setting?
Of the 2000 hours of peak mental function per year claimed in the first paragraph, how many are wasted on trendy speculation and obvious repetition?
Of point of fact, I do think there is a limit to the amount of time spent researching/thinking about diet longevity issues that one can justify on strict utilitarian grounds.
On the other hand, one could say the same about most of what one thinks about or discusses. With health there definetly is some gain for the mental effort.
