That problem is due to "authorities" and early adopters who were looking for an easy way out. It's hard to go from carefree to genuine low carb, so they listened to the food industry tell them whole wheat and brown rice and other stuff were good enough. They are not. They are carbs that turn into sugar just a smidgen slower than white bread and rice, but not slow enough to make a difference.
