As for #11, Non-flossed teeth are a material source of inflammation in the body. Inflammation has been shown to be a significant driver of several health conditions [1] including arterial clogging (ie, that cholesterol itself only starts to "stick" in the presence of inflammation). Arterial clogging is an issue in the brain as well as the heart. Poor dental hygeine is correlated with heart attacks, for example.
Avoiding simple carbohydrates (#1) is primarily important to control blood sugar (elevated blood sugar has many detrimental effects, both short term and long term [2]). But fructose and alcohol, also simple carbs, are metabolized by the liver and the metabolic by-products are shown to cause inflammation as well [3]
