The Claim
The human body is capable of producing adequate glucose via endogenous gluconeogenesis to satisfy metabolic requirements, including during periods of high energy expenditure such as endurance training, which implies that dietary carbohydrates are not essential for maintaining metabolic function.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Your body can make all the sugar it needs, even when you're doing intense exercise like marathon training, so you don’t actually have to eat carbs to stay healthy.
See the scientific wording
The human body endogenously produces sufficient glucose through gluconeogenesis to meet metabolic demands, even under conditions of high energy expenditure such as endurance training, rendering dietary carbohydrate intake non-essential.
