 Constant low insulin might not be optimal either. Once in a while carbs should be consumed. It is especially forgiving after workout, as your body pulls sugar from the blood to feed muscles.  Constant low insulin might not be optimal either. Once in a while carbs should be consumed.

 +Adding fat to a Carb meal lowers the sugar spike, but spreads its release over longer time. Also, insulin spikes even higher when fat is present by pancreatic over response, further adding to possible insulin resistance. 
 +
 +New metrics are starting to be used
 +
 +Glycemic load : how much sugar the given food will cause to be released into blood
 +
 +AUC(area under curve) : about of insulin the given food will stimulate
 +
 +Lack of sleep will cause impaired insulin sensitivity the following day! 
 +
 +Chronic stress is another contributor. Living close to loud road increases chances of Alzheimer's (although I read a study somewhere that attributed this link to pollution - not noise - VK) 
 +
 +Gluten consumption caused higher won't gain in mice, and higher inflammation markers 
 +
 +Consuming refined gains and sugar can supress cortisol - the stress hormone - causing further addiction. Instead the causes of stress should be addressed
 +
 +Stress and lack of sleep can also sabotage willpower when dropping carbs

 +Dark chocolate
 +
 +On ingredients look for cocoa, make sure its not processed with alkali (Dutch processing) 
 +
 +Ancel Keys - the guy to blame for incorrect nutritional knowledge. He incorrectly thought Mediterranean diet means seafood and didn't credit oil, always wanted to break down while foods into constituent ingredients. 
 +
 +He ran a very long study with thousands of mental patients. The result - lowering cholesterol was achieved - but led to no reduction of cardiovascular disease or death. Minnesota coronary survey. 
 +
 +Results were so inconvenient it took 16 years for them to be published - in 1989.
 +
 +After the guy's death - documents were discovered, showed that there was 22% higher risk of death for every 30 mg/dl drop in serum cholesterol. Corn oil group had twice as many heart attacks over 5 year period. So lowering cholesterol led to worse outcomes
 +
 +Framingham Heart Study
 +
 +Multigenerational analysis of heart disease risk. Thousands. Showed that higher cholesterol - even in so called dangerous range - correlated to better scores on cognitive, reasoning, attention and concentration, verbal and executive abilities tests. 
 +
 +Another study showed that higher cholesterol levels (both kinds) correlated to better memory performance. 
 +
 +Maybe even helps against dimentia.
