When I went to that page the pistachio article was below.
Yes, these pages tend to be on aggregator sites that pull together material and are meant as click bait. But sometimes you find something interesting in there that you can track down.
Healthy carbs do exist but we are habituated to foods that have way too many. Perhaps the invention of the sandwich was the downfall of the Western human diet. Learning to eat things without bread attached is a process to work on.
I avoided wheat for a couple of years while I was being treated for Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR). It was just my own theory of what might be helpful to get over an inflammatory disease that might have been partly a result of my diet. The steroids worked and were tapered, I don't know if the diet made a difference. I do eat wheat again now, and sometimes wonder if I'm tempting fate (though in fact, I think it was the stress of the job that went from great to awful with the hiring of a new dean who proceeded to make everyone as miserable as possible with a reorganization.) I retired right about the same time as the last of the prednisone was administered.
