If you skim through the whole thread, you can get a feel for where this poster is coming from.

- ksk 9y ago> Carbs are not an essential nutrient, and the parent poster was correct to say "carb deficiency is not associated with any impairment or disease" The phrase carb deficiency is vague. I took it as 0 carb since that was the context of the original comment. But if you take it to mean anything value you want, then that is shifting of the goalposts from 'you can remain healthy with a 0 carb diet' - a claim that has not yet met its burden of proof.
