By the way in case this wasn't clear: this is just an elimination diet experiment on myself, it's not a dietary recommendation to you or anyone else. I do think that some people do better with high carb than others. There are genetic differences that indicate higher carb tolerance in some people, eg salivary amylase copies. Some people have genetic differences that make a low carb/no carb keto/carnivore diet very harmful. There's room for multiple optimal human diets because diet has to be specific to a particular persons's unique biochemistry and genetics.

Also worth bearing in mind that the toxins in plants do the same for us as they do for themselves. They give us the toxins we need to clear our systems of parasites and protection from chemicals and heavy metals. We borrow their toxicity to keep ourselves clean.
