Demonizing any particular part of a diet is a dangerous route, as people tend to feel justified in eating how much of whatever doesn't contain the currently demonized nutrient. Example: the explosion of "low fat" snack foods that are downright bad for you,but sell well. With refined carbs (refined foods, actually) it should be seen as a spectrum, with less refined things (whole vegetables) being on on end and highly refined things (HFCS) on the other. Just favoring less refined things over more refined things, without specific prohibitions of any particular ingredient can be a good place to start. Example:I've cut out HCFS soda altogether, but I still put a teaspoon of real sugar in my coffee.
