There are lots of us living very healthy lives on this "mythical" high carb diet. The Okinawans, for example, before their diet was corrupted by processed western foods, got 85% of their calories from sweet potatoes and were the healthiest and longest lived people in the world.

The only B vitamin that's difficult to get on a high carb diet is B12. But that's only because we've removed the bacteria that produce it from our diet by sterilizing our water supplies and improving food hygiene. Animals also get it from bacteria and a lot of commercial meat has added B12. Check here for an exhaustive list of B vitamin sources:

Sorry but nominations for Nobel prizes are kept secret for 50 years. I highly doubt he was nominated the same year he was born.
