This is so true! And yet the government's food pyramid was until recently promoting processed carbohydrates as the main dietary staple. While you can't really pick a diet scientifically, they all seem to agree this is the one group of foods you want to avoid. As a side note, the government's new pyramid is even worse ... they've realigned the bars so you have no clue what percentage of each group is desireable. And their own literature totally ignores the yellow bar (what is it?).
