Well every one of those articles mentionned lower blood glucose and insulin levels. Some researchers believe that insulin, especially elevated levels of it, has a profound negative effect on health.
So it occurs to me, if fasting or calorie restriction has the effect of lowering glucose and insulin levels, and low-carb has the same effect, might low-carb be just as effective as fasting or calorie restriction in extending life ?
