Message: <blockquote data-quote="fatbird" data-source="post: 456531" data-attributes="member: 51273">"carbs are vital to function""There are three kinds of foods--fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. All of these provide calories. But the carbohydrates provide calories and nothing else. They have none of the essential elements to build up or to repair the tissues of the body. A man, given carbohydrates alone, however liberally, would starve to death on calories. The body must have proteins and animal fats. It has no need for carbohydrates, and, given the two essential foodstuffs, it can get all the calories it needs from them."Sir Heneage Ogilvie, former vice president of the Royal College of Surgeons, England.FB</blockquote>
