Within a general nutrition context, yes of course carbs are essential, however in a modern context the supply of carbs is so abundant that the conversation mostly revolves around the over abundance of them, while other nutrients are neglected. This and many other studies are highlighting this problem, where people crops have been optimized for size, yield, and fast growth (which almost always results in empty carbs being produced quickly), at the expense of all the other nutrients being reduced.
