i am a huge fan of FOAMY (check out my avatar - FOAMY in the flesh). the cartoons are hillarious. he has alot of offensive opinions on a wide range of topics (check out the DATING TIPs toon and the STAR-CRAPS rants ). his Fat-kins rant is representative of the lack of knowledge average folk have about the low-carb lifestyle. it is still hillarious.
your brain does need carbs to function. this fact is the backbone of any ketogenic diet. when you don't consume enough carbs to feed the brain, your body goes into the back up mode and produces ketones from fat and protein - which the brain can use INSTEAD of carbs to operate. i imagine this system evolved so that humans could survive when we did not have access to carbs (think innuit in the north - no farming, short summers).
