I don't even see the message as "carbs are bad" so much as "too many of the wrong types of carbs are bad". There are people here doing quite well on 50, 60 even 100 grams of carb per day, but they're getting those carbs from low glycemic sources instead of high glycemic ones and that has made all the difference. I don't think you'll find any doctor who will argue that it's better to eat large amounts of refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup than it is to eat veggies, berries and melons.
