In a recent issue of American Antiquity, two articles (Gill et al. 2021; Lyons et al. 2021) perpetuate the common misconception that dietary carbohydrates are an essential component of the human diet and that plants—the main source of dietary carbohydrates—must be consumed to promote health. In fact, carbohydrate is a nonessential macronutrient with adequate amounts of energy—the sole function of carbohydrates in the human diet—being produced via gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis in the absence of dietary carbohydrate. Additionally, both articles erroneously employ the term “dietary staple” in reference to geophyte consumption.

关于人类营养中碳水化合物的误解

在最近一期的American Antiquity中,两篇文章(Gill 等人,2021 年;Lyons 等人,2021 年)延续了一种普遍的误解,即膳食碳水化合物是人类饮食的重要组成部分,而植物——膳食碳水化合物的主要来源——必须食用以促进健康。事实上,碳水化合物是一种非必需的大量营养素,具有足够的能量——碳水化合物在人类饮食中的唯一功能——是在没有膳食碳水化合物的情况下通过糖异生和生酮产生的。此外,这两篇文章都错误地使用了术语“主食”来指代地球植物的消费。
