> gluten, is the worst, worse than sugar
These sound like dubious claims to me. Do you have a citation?

And to say legumes are bad when they are actually by far the best kind of carb you can eat is nuts. (Nuts are good too.)
You think you were helpful and I am not because you believe what you say. But you have not stopped to consider that perhaps you are simply wrong and I am calling you out on it.
Your problem is that you wrote something wrong - doubly wrong. You wrote that gluten is a carb, and that it's bad for you. But not only is it not a carb, it's also not bad for you unless you are sensitive to it. Wheat is what took humanity from weak scattered encampments to full civilizations, it's not called the staff of life for nothing.
And when you added the legumes are bad for you, all doubt I had if perhaps you were right vanished.
I'm telling you straight up, STOP being pedantic! This is a discussion forum, not a scientific peer-review!
"...all doubt I had if perhaps you were right vanished." who the hell wants to even have a reasoned conversation with you? I sure don't - I'm willing to be educated or have my mind changed but now you're both being pedantic and throwing insulting sentences into the mix COMPLETELY throwing out my desire to be educated BY YOU.
Fuck off. You're an example of what's wrong with Hacker News IMHO - this used to be a great place for conversation but its devolved heavily into a hostile discussion environment.
And I never said anything even remotely pedantic. (Thinking gluten is a carb is not pedantic - it's wrong.)
You have been told you were wrong from a whole bunch of different people, but somehow decided they were all me. It's interesting to speculate on why you did that. A mental defense against being told you were wrong perhaps?
It's time for you to go restart your eduction on this matter from scratch - and not from me.
HFCS is a solution of unbonded fructose and glucose. The most common HFCS is 45% glucose / 55% fructose.
HFCS may be worse for you if fructose is worse for you. That said, the concentrations aren't that much different.
I'm not going to dig out the citations (because I'm not sure where I'd find them) but I'm pretty certain I read recently in a credible source:
* Fructose is worse for you
* ... but HFCS and sugar contain similar amounts
* HFCS is really bad for you
* ... but no worse for you than sugar (which is also really bad for you)
