A little bit of bad is still not good.
It reminds me of the studies that show eating whole grain flour is healthier than eating refined flour, i.e., fewer people died.
We need to see the study where a control group ate no flour…
FWIW, I’m not as strict with my eating as this may sound, I have 50 years of failed nutrition behind me, but one of the things that sticks out with me, is that if you have to mix a bunch of other stuff with something to make it more palatable, then the " something " is better left alone.
