> But we don't need carbs.

Do you have any science to back up this bold claim?

And what are you claiming carbohydrates are? Simplex and complex carbohydrates - sugars and starches?

It seems like you're saying that we don't need carbs, but that eating a diet with no carbs means we lose out on all those foods that have other useful nutrients (ie green vegetables). So, we tend to eat diets that have carbs to get the other benefits. Is that right?
