I slightly misspoke about sugar. No sugar is not explicitly in everything we eat, but carbs are, which are converted to sugar. Again, without some sugar the body would die very quickly. It’s call “blood glucose.”
I’ve checked out the gamut of low-carb/low-sugar diets and almost all of them require or highly recommend dietary supplements because what’s cut out of the diet also cuts out a lot of nutrients we need. Grains are beneficial for MANY nutrients, particularly B vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cutting them out completely, as many low-carb diets do, leaves a nutrition void.

Nope nope nope.
Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack a prostate thread, but since I am contributing to a side topic about the possible benefits of avoiding sugar & carb, at least for enlargement issues, I can speak from experience and research that you are not correct.
I have been low carb for over a month. I take no supplements. Yesterday I had sausage and beef meat sauce over spaghetti squash. This is an example of just one meal. Spaghetti squash provides plenty of B vitamins, among other vitamins and minerals.
It is NOT true that you need to have a glucose metabolism to survive/thrive. In fact, with the epidemic of diabetes growing, it’s increasingly obvious that constant consumption of sugars/carbs is causing chronic insulin fatique, and people were not intended to live this way. Human beings picked fruits during small parts of the year. For most of the year, they ate fresh meats, as well as cured and smoked meats, foraged for nuts as well as harvesting/drying them for storage, dried some vegetables as well as pickling many others, and turned fruit into wine (which turns the sugar from the fruit into alcohol BTW, low sugar), and a whole lot more that infrequently involved carbs. When people did encounter sugars, insulin was there to help them store it, for survival, as fat on their body, which was rare, so obesity was hardly a problem.
