I guess the disagreement between subject and verb in your few words
above could be attributed to the same condition, right?

But you still don't say which ones. Of course, fiber isn't a carb - or
any other macronutrient - since we don't digest them.

Try Dr. Walter Willett from Harvard med school. Just for kicks, look him
up and see what he says. Carbs aren't needed, but he likes them. As do I.

You still haven't grasped the notion of "essential nutrient" and are
arguing from convenience and preference rather than science.

How silly a thing to say. Atkins had a good bit of it right, but it was
empirical, immediate and unstudied. Not good recommendations for
scientific rigor.

<LOL> As opposed to your diligent, mature, informed attitude...?
