[...]My lightbulb moment in the beginning of my reading was learning one simple fact which is this, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, there are however essential fats and essential proteins. This is where my understanding began.
Essential, probably not, but beneficial for some reason, we don't know. Let's keep an open mind rather than swapping one assumption for another.
Are there any studies of people eating no carbohydrates for a long time period?There's no 'probable' about it.
That arguement can eqully well be applied to fat - both arguements will be true for some peoples bodies and equally false for othersThere's no 'probable' about it. Beneficial? Debatable. Harmful at high levels? Definitely. Nice to eat? Oh, Yeah!
There was Steffanson/Inuit but this, I think, was for one year. How long is long term?Are there any studies of people eating no carbohydrates for a long time period?

There are always outliers. I did not say this wrt to every single person on the planet, I am not an epidemiologist.That arguement can eqully well be applied to fat - both arguements will be true for some peoples bodies and equally false for others

A one person self documented study doesn't seem very scientific, especially as I found this when I looked him up:There was Steffanson/Inuit but this, I think, was for one year. How long is long term?
A one person self documented study doesn't seem very scientific, especially as I found this when I looked him up:
Rudolph M. Anderson, a zoologist and member of two of Stefansson’s expeditions, wrote, “Stefansson is the outstanding humbug in the exploration world at the present time—a persistent, perennial, and congenital liar who for years has made his living by sheer mendacity and skill in handling words.”
So unless there are other studies, I think my statement that carbohydrates are probably not essential, is reasonable.
the picture is completely different for T1’s
The innuit are frequently cited as evidence that a very high fat diet promotes good health. Recent epigenetic research that I poted a couple of weeks ago, shows that the innuit show major genetic differences in their ability to live off large intakes of Omega 3 fats that would most likely kill populations without that adaptationIs this the same fella, locked in a sanatorium with a diet of meat and fats, outrunning his guards and staying healthy throughout? The traditional Sami, Inuit and Masai diets (admittedly with carbs but at extremely low levels and seasonal)? Would this -constitute long term?
A type 1 without any carb intake would most probably dieHow so?
