Here you go! Susan said this!

"Yes, the ADA used to have a statement on their site, "eat more starches,
they're good for you!""

I used two quote marks on some of it because I was quoting Susan and she was
apparently quoting the ADA. Whether they actually said that or not I do not
know. I kind of think not.

To which I told her something to the extent of... Get over it! They no
longer say that.

So the ADA did not say to eat more carbs or starches. Nor did they say "Eat
those carbs!" I believe they said you should not eat less than 130 grams of
carb. To which I replied that this is not new news. People have been
quoting this from various sources for many years. And some would even argue
that eating 130 grams of carb is low carb. Certainly it is less carbs than
the average American and probably the average person in many other countries
would eat in a day. I know when my diet was mainly beans and rice or beans
and pasta, with a lunch of say...peas, corn and potatoes, I was eating about
that many carbs in a meal!
