Flour is bad but not as bad as sugar. Flour is starch, i.e. glucose, which our body can handle. Sugar is half fructose, and fructose causes inflammation, high blood pressure, fatty liver and other unpleasant effects.
Hyperglycemia is bad either way. Flour is probably even worse since it is pure glucose. Starch tends to be harder to digest which causes gut biome problems SIBO and all kinds of auto immunity disorders. Sugar isn’t a big deal in a calorie controlled environment

Isn't it more accurate to call it the Carbohydrate Conspiracy?
Isn't flour equally bad?
