Dr. Bikman explains a fundamental yet often misunderstood aspect of human nutrition: the concept of essential nutrients. He clarifies that while essential amino acids and fatty acids must be obtained through diet for health and survival, there are no essential carbohydrates. Despite the necessity of blood glucose for certain cells, like red blood cells, he emphasizes that the body does not require dietary carbohydrates to maintain glucose levels. Instead, the liver efficiently produces glucose from various sources, particularly lactate produced by working muscles, thus negating the need for dietary carbohydrate intake to sustain blood glucose.
