I’ve seen that assertion about carbs being necessary for the brain in many places, often verbatum. What I have not seen are primary sources of this assertion. I have also seen assertions that the brain can be fueled without carbs.
Where are the long term studies on the effects of low carb diets? And what about the Inuits? Their diets are almost completely devoid of anything other than animal products. Do their brains not function properly? Then there is lawdave. Has his five months of carbohydrate deprivation rendered him stupid? (He seems coherent to me, but who knows, maybe his caretaker is typing for him.)
Again, I’m not trying be a controversial. I would like to nail this stuff down.
Of course not.. it is long term. Most nutritionist agree good carbs are very important in overall long term health.
