Whether you should be concerned about low T3 or high glucagon on low-carb diets
Whether insulin resistance is a problem of excess glucose metabolism or excess fat metabolism
Whether a low metabolic rate allows you to live longer
Whether high-carb diets cause overeating and insulin resistance
Whether you should be concerned about glycation on a high-carb diet
And much more
