Google the terms "glycemic index" and "glycemic load".  Some carbs are
simply slower to absorb than others.  I'm not making any of this stuff up by
myself.  This is standard nutritional science.  Nothing new here.  There has
been plenty of long-term clinical trials about the benefits of eating more
complex carbohydrates and less sugar.

I was describing the failings of the references you thought proved your
point.  I am glad that you recognized the content as "ranting".  But I am
waiting for you to realize that it was not "my" rant, but your own sources
that I was describing.

I did not mean the term "FUD" as an insult.  I meant it calmly and
literally.  The sources you referenced do not present evidence for their own
position.  Instead, they try to develop fear of the other side, uncertainty
about the other side, and doubt about the other side.  Literally, "FUD"
*against* a position, not evidence *for* a position.
