Do you need carbohydrates to thrive, or even survive? This really shouldn't be a debate anymore, the evidence is overwhelming against it. Humans have not only survived but thrived in much harsher and life-threatening conditions, such as the ice ages, for 99% of human existence… pic.twitter.com/cY3I1a44wd

3:24. If our normal insulin was made for carbohydrates, then why is it that we had to make a new insulin for this? In fact, when type 1 diabetics go to a ketogenic approach and they're not taking in carbohydrates, they still need some insulin, especially for protein but the insulin that most matches that protein curve is actually our normal insulin. So they are given the old style insulin that actually perfectly matches that protein curve. So our insulin is designed for protein not carbohydrate.
TEETH & DENTITION
Secondly, our teeth and dentition. Carbohydrates select for certain bacteria that actually cause cavities in our teeth. No animal in the wild eats a natural diet that rots their teeth. If an animal loses its teeth in the wild, it dies because it cannot eat, it cannot function. And so no natural biological diet will cause any species of animals to rot their teeth. So by definition, any food that rots the teeth of any animal is not designed for that animal, and it's not good for that animal. Oral health is a window to the overall health, especially cardiovascular health. And anything that causes tooth decay is likely to cause other issues in the body. And any food that brings about the wrong bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and rot the teeth is obviously not meant for that animal. And like carbohydrates are not meant for us. We see a clear break in the dentition before and after agriculture. People did not need dentists and neither do animals. Immediately after agriculture, we see jaw formation shrink. We see fallen dental arches and we also see rotting, broken, crooked teeth.
