Correct. In that sugars and starches are the main thing human metabolize for energy. You can avoid them and fuel yourself on fat. But some carbohydrates are structural, and hence the lack of them is extremely harmful. Grouping all carbohydrates is a gross oversimplification.
If you say that the lack of a carbohydrate is harmful, that makes carbohydrates essential. Which carbohydrate is essential?
It would, but I’m saying carbohydrates are essential in the same way cholesterol is. You don’t necessarily have to eat any (though it’s really hard not, considering how many things that you may have to eat due to their other essential elements, do contain at least some carbohydrates), some of your body is composed of carbohydrates.
Like I said, you can technically replace all energy needs with fats.
