Well, the term "AGE"s also covers the toxic oxidation of fats etc., as occurs during cooking (ie lipid oxides etc.) I believe, the strict term for the latter is "ALE"s(advanced lipoxication end products)(cooking oxidises foods) but the term "AGE"s covers both types.
Of course, there are many other issues re zero-carb, cooked or otherwise, such as the inevitable drastic drop in physical performance re sports,(some anecdotal reports re stress of no-carb diets on the thyroid), and other issues.
