Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci, both low sugar diets, constant barrage of amazing contributions all their lives.
Name that amazing contributions. Ones that really useful and thoroughly developed. They mostly produced ideas, and overhelming majority of their ideas does not work.
You don't need much brain work to get an idea. In most cases they just appear in your mind without any effort when you are thinking nothing. Sounds weird and enigmatic, but that's a theme for another topic.
You need brain work to analyse, check and thoroughly develop idea to the level when it is easily reproduceable and working. Both Tesla and Leonardo was complete loosers in that part.
In Edison's case, he very much lived on milk, and he shunned many regular foods. No sugars. In later life was diabetic too. In general he a weird metanolism and I suspect had a few genetic differences in significant ways.
Define genius. Many known geniuses are relatively dumb in terms of using brain intensively. They just once got a good idea and that's all.

I was just reading a Thomas Edison biography. He ate little and it was low sugar except for some lactose.
