You think 6 portions of carbs a day is a good dietary guideline?

That could be 3 servings of whole grains and 3 servings of fruit and veg. Sounds good, though I’d go further and suggest more fruit & veg if possible.

I think outcome is the measure we should look at. With regards to disease and longevity there is nothing saying about 50-65% of energy from carbs has to be bad. What matters is what kind of carbs. Bulgur. Quinoa. Whole Rye. Oats. Beans.

In fact, this kind of diet that is the basis of the modern dietary recommendations because we know it is associated with good outcomes.

Based. I know you might just be taking the agnostic position for the sake of the conversation, but the evidence overwhelmingly suggests 6 servings of carbs would massively improve your ACM risk: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000291652...
