As we know, it's pure fiction. There is no evidence -- none -- that our
bodies need any carbohydrates whatsoever to survive. The guy who wrote the
article is a nonsense-spouting idiot, plain and simple. In fact, exactly
the opposite is true. The Inuit Indians of Alaska have lived for
generations with no carbohdrates at all, just fish and whale blubber, and
have an extremely low rate of heart disease and diabetes. --
