I believe you didn't hear your professor fully correctly, and that you are missing something, yes, although his information is somewhat amiss too.
Eating 10+ bananas and feeling fine has nothing to do with what your teacher was talking about. He was referring to muscular uptake of glucose from the blood when eating standard fare, at specific intensity, during cardio exertions. Through various experiments with athletes we have clearly demonstrated that athletes on 811 can uptake more glucose than can athletes on SAD, up to as much as double the quantity your teacher suggested. There is research suggesting that 90 grams is the upper limit for athletes, when they use extreme protocol supplements. We are seeing closer to 120 grams by simply using the 80/10/10 diet.
