I think a high-carb diet is what's dangerous and IMO that sort of diet which is the common Western diet nowadays and for the past several decades, has no doubt contributed to many digestive illnesses that we see at epidemic levels in multiple countries today. I also think within a few years, the scientific community will catch up , The truth is already starting to come to light :) thanks for taking the time to read my article, all of the relevant sources and consider it though 👍😊

"High"-carb diet is what our most closest relative the chimp are on. It's what we evolved on for the vast majority of our existence on this planet.
It's what shaped the bio-chemistry of our ancestors for millions of years.
Chimps are hunters of raw meat.... and eat each other when they have wars with each other...
Yup. The vast majority of their calories are from vegan sources.
One of the things that often gets overlooked, is that unless you're eating organic, the quality of carbs are often contaminated with chemicals and mixed with fillers and additives which effects the nutrients you derive from eating, as well as how your body breaks food down. For example, I'm really careful about the baked goods I get while eating out in the US, because they often make me brain fogged and sluggish feeling after eating them. But when I was on vacation on St. Marteen, an island in the Caribbean, I didn't have the same problems when eating out at restaurants because they never allowed Monsato on the island.
That being said, I agree that it's better to keep a low carb diet to stay healthier overall. One of the things that I found surprising while doing keto, was the huge quantities of food I was able to consume while still losing weight and gaining muscle. This really brought home the point that quality and the source of my foods is really impactful on my moods and physical well-being.
