Carbohydrates are not good for the body. Period. Humans aren't designed to eat as many carbohydrates as they eat today. Traditional diets were primarily composed of health-maximizing fats like those found in bison. Yams and potatoes were only foraged for once every few months. Our ancestors did not indulge in carbohydrates because they had less carbohydrates than they do today. Treat carbs as a rare, rare treat or you'll develop cardiac deficiencies.
Bananas of the past had about 30 calories, mostly of protein and fat(from seeds). Now they are about 150 calories of carbohydrates. They were hybridized to have more catastrophic carbs that have caused the majority of the diseases in modern society. It's the same for other carbohydrates. Potatoes, fruits, etc... never had as many carbs as they do now. They mostly stored plant protein, which is inferior to animal protein.

I'm not sure what to make of this whole TMAO issue. I'm kind of in the Mark McCarty camp and taking a wait and see attitude, while avoiding eggs, red meat, and large amounts of dietary choline/supplements.
I think TMAO may ultimately only be a coincident biomarker. Alternatively, resveratrol/allicin and other compounds have been shown to inhibit TMAO formation.
If anyone can get the supplement downloaded, I'd like to see it related to this section:
Notably, we observed that, independent of starch digestibility, higher-CHO
diets increased plasma TAG and large VLDL particle concentrations, and promoted a shift in LDL particle distribution towards
more medium and small LDL (Supplementary Fig. S4), in
keeping with the recognised effect of carbohydrates on features
of atherogenic dyslipidemia(47–51), and in overall agreement with
the recent OmniCarb study(52), which found that plasma TAG
were increased by higher CHO intake, but were not influenced
by starch quality as assessed by the glycaemic index
Seems strange to me given that Table 5 shows higher mass for sd-LDL on the low-CHO diet, with p-value 0.06. I guess the particle counts were worse under higher CHO, but the mass was greater under low-CHO ? I don't get it.
EDIT:
Seems like the low-CHO arm started out with significantly higher sd-LDL, LDL levels by comparison.

This is interesting https://www.ncbi.nlm...pubmed/28091798
Intake of up to 3 Eggs/Day Increases HDL Cholesterol and Plasma Choline While Plasma Trimethylamine-N-oxide is Unchanged in a Healthy Population."With intake of 2-3 eggs/day, these changes were maintained. Plasma choline increased dose-dependently with egg intake (P < 0.0001) while fasting plasma TMAO was unchanged. These results indicate that in a healthy population, consuming up to 3 eggs/day results in an overall beneficial effect on biomarkers associated with CVD risk, as documented by increased HDL-c, a reduced LDL-c/HDL-c ratio, and increased plasma choline in combination with no change in plasma LDL-c or TMAO concentrations."
