Hi Johnny, Thank you for being more polite.
Carbohydrates are not glucose, yes...but get converted in the body to glucose to be used as energy. That is what carbohydrates are for. Our bodies convert 100% of the carbs we eat into glucose.
And, sure, I will take your “challenge”.
But, I am afraid that your premise is inaccurate to begin with.
To say early Arctic Natives ate zero carbohydrates is inaccurate. They ate tundra berries in abundance when they were available, ( and there are at least 5 different kinds of tundra berries that I know of), and they also at times would eat the contents of the stomachs of the animals such as caribou, birds, and seals that they hunted for food.
They also regularly ate seaweed, grasses, and the roots tubers and stems of edible tundra plants. All of this is carbohydrates. It's easy to assume nothing grows in the arctic, but if you'd ever been there you would know that in summer there is an amazing abundance of plant life growing on the tundra. It's not huge bushes or trees, but very small and low to the ground plants, some with tiny berries that have the most amazingly intense and sweet flavor you can imagine! If you ever ate fresh picked salmon berries you'd never want another berry in your life.
Arctic Natives still collect and eat all of these things. It was a highlight of their year to be able to collect berries, and they collected all they could and dried or froze what they did not eat right away. They still do.
"Eskimo Ice Cream" used to be seal fat pounded with tundra berries. Nowadays they make it with crisco, because that is easier, although less healthy, and they still hunt and eat seals.
They also made for thousands of years, and still make, make pemmican using meat and berries, and eat that all year around.
I know these things because of a personal connection to these native people, and experience with them and their history, but some basic research online will show you that this is all true. So, no, Eskimos did not live for thousands of years without carbohydrates.
By the way, I am talking about the arctic in general. I don't know anything about Iceland as such, but a quick Google search will show that yes, Iceland also has native plants that flourish there, so it is also not true that nothing grows in Iceland.
Fruits and vegetables are very important for the health of the human body. For some, grains are not the best thing. I myself cannot eat many grains or legumes.
However,
F
ruits and vegetables are a form of carbohydrate. It is unhealthy not to eat any fruits or vegetables, and that is a fact you will find stated in any reputable health information source in the entire world.
