You do understand all sugar isn't created equal, yes? And sugar interacts with other components of a given food? Carbs don't exist in a vacuum. You're comparing actual whole foods to literal trash.

Please educate yourself and also stop spreading bullshit.

    No, they are actually correct about the effects of starchy vegetables. They have some benefits - like carrots having beta-carotene, but they are about as unhealthy as refined grains are. Maybe slightly worse. Their consumption should be kept on the lower side, and their detriments can be mitigated or even canceled out by being eaten in the same meal as other high fiber whole foods and sources of unsaturated fats.
