Very much more logical.

But the wheels of change move very very slowly in the ADA.
What is in a piece of bread that makes the ADA recommend the
greater percentage of our diets come from? After all there
is nothing particularly nutritious about lots of bread, even
grain bread. There is no RDA for carbs at all, anywhere in
the world. So what's the deal with eating lots of carb?
Bread is a filler at best. My guess is they are still
pandering to non compliant diabetics. That's at odds with
the aim of associations like ADA etc.
