Hmm, perhaps you're right. I suspect that "highly refined" is an ambiguous term. A quick Google suggests it mostly refers to sugars but also refers to things like rice cakes and white bread that are mostly starchy; maybe it depends, in part, what things it is packaged alongside rather than just the chemical composition of the carbs themselves e.g. whether it is included alongside a fair amount of fibre.
