Unpopular Opinion: Carbohydrates are NOT the primary contributor to modern day heath problems, but rather industrial seed oils.
Yes, carbs raise insulin, but most people who are metabolically healthy can withstand high carb diets for a significant amount of time.
Think about it. We have been eating grains for 20,000 years, but seed oils in the past 100 years. All the modern day diseases are fairly recent.
We know now that industrial seed oils are high in omega 6, and form toxic trans fats when heated.
Also, many cultures that eat carbs (Italians, Japanese etc) live quite long. My grandparents ate lots of starchy foods, but also lots of animal foods. They lived to their 90s with no cognitive decline.
