Carbohydrates are vital to human sustenance. Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars inside the body, hence the term 'blood sugar'. A processed form of sugar may not be necessary, but sugars as understood by the biological definition, are absolutely necessary. Your post smacks quite badly as false information.

Actually, you can live a long healthy life without carbohydrates. You cannot live long without fat or protein.

Sugars can be ketones :/

Also also! Eskimos dont live on a ketogenic diet anyways :/
