Good vs. Bad Carbs

I found this article one day while surfing on yahoo looking at the news articles.  It really separates good vs. bad carbs.  I hope I'm not the only one but I find all the health stuff kind of confusing.  One minute it's bad the next someone says it's good for you.  Slowing down the digestive process so that your cells aren't wrecked and so carbs are not stored as fat is the key.  One major reason why people don't succeed with their diet is because they don't take serving sizes into account.  Americans often have very large proportions.  The following are the five ideas the article said for switching to good carbs:
1.  Switch to darker breads
2.  Choose high bran or whole grain cereals
3.  Choose pasta over rice
4.  Swap for better snacks
5.  Embrace fruits and vegetables with a few exceptions
What have you heard about good and bad carbs and what is your opinion?
