We do need a small amount of glucose, that’s why I was specific that we don’t need to consume it. We can make the amount we actually need from the protein we eat.
Whether that’s ideal or not is a separate conversation, but we can live our whole lives without consuming sugar or carbs.
Can you survive without any carbs in your diet? An army of zero-carb-diet social media influencers seem to think so.
EDIT: To clarify, my whole point in this thread has been that you can get addicted to salt and fat, both of which are things you need. I don’t know why the fuck anyone would want to ramble about whether you can “fully quit carbs”. Maybe the best question here is “Why would you and why are you even talking about it?”. Again: you can get addicted to things you need. Consuming it in excess is what makes it an addiction. There’s no rule that says you can only get addicted to things you want but not need

We’d literally die if we didn’t eat salt or fat.
