There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. That is not an opinion. That is basic biochemistry. There are essential fats. There are essential proteins. Your body cannot make them, so you need to get them from food. Carbohydrate is not on that list, because your liver can make the glucose you need from fat and protein. That process is called gluconeogenesis. So why were people told to base meals around grains? The 1977 dietary guidelines pushed 6 to 11 servings a day. That was presented as health advice. It also happened to suit a food system built around cheap, storable, profitable products. A population living on meat, eggs, and simple whole food is harder to sell to on repeat. That is worth thinking about. When I cut back on carbohydrates my energy stabilised, my hunger became manageable, and I stopped thinking about food every two hours. That is not what you would expect if you had removed something essential. Your body does not need carbohydrate. It needs enough energy, enough protein, enough fat, and the right signals. What is the most difficult carb for you to give up?






La epidemia de Ébola Bundibugyo en África está aumentando minuto a minuto. Ésta velocidad de transmisión NO es típica de este virus y, más bien, es compatible con una transmisión aérea. Hay que repensar el dogma: “Ébola no se transmite por el aire”. cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/commenta…
