> many breads have added sugar and so much pasta has added sugar

Presumably "5 servings of grains a day" assumes no added sugar, otherwise it would say "5 servings of grains and some sugar a day".

Yes, but -

- Unless youre wealthy, it is difficult to get access to good bread. Far too much of the bread normally available has added sugar or similar products.

- Modern science argues even about the non-added sugar portion (the starches) and whether 5 servings of that was even good. Insulin resistance isnt just caused by added sugar, but just excessive starches (of which we were told to have 5 servings!)
