Fruitarianism is Best For Brain

Fruitarians include Leonardo Da Vinci whose notebooks indicate
that only the products of plants were eaten by him. Vegan and vegetarian
scientists include Albert Einstein, Pythagoras, author of the Pythagorean
theorem, Apollonius, the great Ramanujan,
Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein at age 19. Zen Buddhist monks
with phenomenal physical and mental stamina... are for the most part
vegetarians.

Linus Pauling, only winner of 2 Nobel prizes, discoverer of 6 elements
in the periodic chart, whose discovery of DNA was stolen by Watson
and Crick, found that
neural transmitter flow is faster for fruitarians.

Conversely, animal eaters' brain arteries are clogged with
animal fat, reducing blood flow. Their brains have incipient amyloid
plaque, cause of Alzheimer's.

Wm Shakespeare in Twelfth Night: He is a heavy eater of beef. Methinks
it doth harm to his wit.

Your link is dead.

Ironically fruitarianism seems to have little effect on the ability to compose a post in English that doesn't contain a plethora of grammarical errors, a dead link, and repeats everything.

That doesn't really say that it's good for the brain.
More that there's a fruitarianistic culture amongst trained people.
Understandable, considering how detestable it becomes to eat a sausage when you actually know what's in it.

I've heard that fish meat is good for the brain.
Helps rebuild synapses and whatnot.

Then if a healthy brain is good for creative tasks or not is a different questin.
Perhaps a sick brain can inspire great things.

A purely vegan diet is not good for the brain. In fact many experiment show that a well balanced diet consisting of vegetables, fish and meat are best for the body. The human brain needs high energy foods to help it work. These are found in meat and fish, as vegetables do not provide enough energy for the brain. Meat eating has also been linked with the intelligence of the human species and why we became the dominant species on the planet.
A few links for you:

And this one is quite interesting:
Intelligence, Evolution of the Human Brain, and Diet

Please note this paragraph:

Hidden, contradictory views on the value of intelligence. An irony here is that there is a contradiction in the logic of the attitudes of certain dietary advocates regarding intelligence. Some fruitarian extremists promote the alleged naturalness of fruitarian diets via the "humans are naked apes, without tools" myth discussed in the last section. This falsehood is often presented as actual science (needless to say, it is crank science) by those who promote it. Inasmuch as the advanced use of tools is an evolutionary characteristic of human intelligence, we can observe that those promoting the myth are saying that you should reject tool use in seeking your "natural" diet (this nonsense may even be presented as being scientific or logical). However, the preceding is equivalent to telling you to reject your intelligence, and even reject your status as a human being, in order to select the (allegedly) optimal diet.

]The argument made by fruitarian extremists is thus contradictory; the argument can be stated as: Use your intelligence to agree with the extremist that humans are "naked apes, without tools," and thus reject, in the future, your use of intelligence in food choices. Another irony here is that some of the extremists promoting this false myth present themselves as "scientific." Crank science (or science fiction) is a more accurate description for such myths, however. The contradictory logic of the "naked ape" myth is a good example of the ambivalent, confused attitude toward intelligence displayed by some dietary advocates.

I also think this is in the wrong section

A purely vegan diet is not good for the brain.

Now that is an opinion, not a fact. I'm a vegan, and I have a very healthy brain I believe. Anything that our brain needs in meat, can also be found in plant form. Always.
