Yeah, I begin to wonder if we need to be a little more specific when talking about this, e.g. not just "carbs" but "simple carbs" and "complex carbs", or "refined" & "unrefined". We've dealt with this once before with saturated & unsaturated fats, vs trans fats.

Carbs are carbs. The biggest problem is that you won't feel full or know when to stop if you're eating just carbs. You need fats or fibers to stop eating, hence "unrefined".
