> It's not so much demonising as knowing most people eat too many carbs

That's not accurate. Complex carbs (e.g. beans) are the foundation of longevity, and most people don't eat enough of them.

If you are counting beans as complex carbs that's a pretty easy statement to make. But most people are referring to whole grain wheat or wild rice or etc which are only a marginal improvements over their alternatives.
Yeah I think this is a terminology issue. Nobody is saying "don't eat vegetables". But even brown rice can cause glucose spikes if you eat too much.
