"This is only going to happen if the person has AA in their cells."

I don't see how you can say that in response to every claim, when you haven't proved the absence of AA in your cells.

But to answer Taka's questions, here is the mechanism why carbs and omega-6 are very bad together. The carbs cause small dense LDL and the omega-6 enhance the oxidation of the LDL. Those points should not be controversial, since HS has pointed out studies noting this effect. There may also be other effects whereby carbs derange fat metabolism.

Some things mentioned Gary Taubes's book. He says high carbs (esp refined) cause: high triglycerides, low HDL, high VLDL, small dense LDL (Pattern B), high blood pressure, high insulin and blood sugar, insulin and leptin resistance, glucose intolerance, reactive hypoglycemia, high fibrinogen, high uric acid, high C-Reactive protein, reduced immunity, and high hemoglobin a1c. Many people have lowered these markers on a low-carb or paleo diet. Have you tested all of these, Hans? Are they all in the optimal range?

"saturated fatty acids are not inflammatory in any way"

Perhaps, but that doesn't prove that carbohydrates are safe. Assuming that people have some AA in their cells, including you, maybe carbs cause more to be released. Very few are going to be willing to freeze all their meat and I don't see the rationale for it, except to discourage people from eating any meat. I would use fresh meat and not burn it.
