Essential Carbohydrates?

Came across this gem, from Science4u1959.

Science recognizes essential proteins, and essential fats. There is no such thing as essential carbohydrates in nutritional science.

He's right. Carbohydrates are not essential to physical survival. Protein and fat are. I've said it before. Cut out all fat or protein and you will die. Cut out all carbohydrates and you won't. They are not a physical necessity to maintain life. They help the body function smoothly, but they are not a physical necessity to maintain life.
