This bit is interesting, but I'm assuming it has way more to do with the refined carbohydrates creeping in than it does with carbohydrates in general.
This is also fascinating. It reminds me of the literature I've read that argues how we aren't well designed for consuming meat and dairy from mouth to digestion.
I think humans are simply hopeless generalists.
