They're talking about glucose, of course. All of this make perfect sense in a body that is primarily burning glucose for fuel. All bets are off, however, once you've switched your body to being a primarily fat burning system.
I also gather that the author of this article hasn't heard of the success that many are having with CKD. I also find myself wondering how they think our ancestors (who more than likely weren't eating 0.5 grams of carb per pound of weight following the hunt) got their muscles from of if they think they were all 98 pound weaklings?
