You stated that carbohydrates are fuel for the brain, which is true. But the body makes it own from fat and protein via glucoeogenesis. There are essential fats the body needs and essential amino acids (protein), but no essential carbohydrates. Humans have not been eating this high of portion of carbohydrates in our evolution, and our bodies are not handling it. Governments are controlling the people to eat carbs, because it is in their interest before the interest of human health and longevity imo.
Any updates? What about the other 1.9 million years when humas developed and that mainly on meat, fat and probably 20% carbs, according to isotop analyses of prehistoric bones?
I thumbs down this. Mostly because I believe so much in the ketogenic diet, the gaps diet and the weston price foundation that I don't want youtube to suggest anti keto things to me anymore. I know what a big difference giving up carbs has made for me! And infancy and pregnancy are both naturally high ketogenic states, why would it suddenly be required for the kid to become high carb or high plant? Grains arent necessary. Fiber isnt necessary. People have been eating meat as a standby, with fat, with very little else, for many generations before big food came along to process everything for us and then push it on us, recommending people to continuing eating fructose, sugar and even additives! You seem like a nice nutritionist but aware of what keto really means, potentially? We don't need carbohydrates to live. There's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Furthermore, brains are made from fat and protein. Carbohydrates are only to be considered "essential" if you continue to be low fat (therefore there wouldnt be enough fat to make ketones) or if you're wanting to continue diabetes. Ketones are the body's preferred fuel! Many parents are have their babies and kids do keto or ketovore , basically high meat, high fat, low carb, lower grain or grain free diets, and they're thriving. Soooo ... I just wanted to stick my opinion out there and disagree. I hope I haven't offended you. I don't mean to offend you personally. For anyone watching, get check out some alternative pro-keto information before you decide. Dr. Ken Berry and Low carb down under both give some great information. The nutritional guidelines these days are based on biased research, bought out by big pharma and the sugar industry. Honestly I feel like this person should do more research and reconsider their stance. That's my opinion. To each their own. Here's what I know - the keto, Carnivore and gaps diets, all versions of keto, gave done so much to improve my health! I felt so much better when I gave up grains! No way I'm having my kid start their lives off on that junk. That's a recipe for chronic illness, continuation of Gut and psychology syndrome to the next generation (see books by Dr. Natasha Campbell Mcbride including the yellow book which has a chapter on ketogenic gaps for babies). Also see presentations and books by nutritionist lily nichols who writes about ketogenic diets for pregnancy AND babies.

AGREED!
AGREE

AGREED!
not to be rude but you have to brush up on latest research..
AGREED!
Carbohydrates is not for human development
This Is BS...
AGREED
Thank you, this is very informative.
