> Carbs turn to the same thing as added sugar before they even hit your stomach

This is not true, you have amylase in your saliva that has a tiny impact on breaking down starches. While there is a little bit of hydrolysis in the stomach, most of the break down happens in the small intestine for smaller oligosaccharides (pancreatic and small intestine enzymes mostly) and the colon for large ones including most fibers (bacteria are doing it)
