Could Your Diet be Affecting Your Trading?

I just watched this fascinating programme by the BBC highlighting the different effects of a high fat versus a high carb diet on twin brothers.  The cognitive tests included a spell in a trading room where the effects of their diets were measured on their cognitive processing.  I recorded the snippet so you could watch it, it makes interesting viewing.  Maybe many of the psychological problems faced by day traders could be down to their diet!
