It's a pity you ruined an otherwise interesting comment with this flippant remark. Aside from being against HN rules, it just grates, like you finished your comment by calling everyone else idiots.
(HN rules also say to ignore the lowest quality part of comments and focus on the higher quality part, so here I am breaking the rules too BTW.)
- sph 4y agoThis is fair criticism, and I admit I got far too incensed. Thank you. Dietary news of terrible quality gets often shared on here and I get annoyed when I enter a comment thread and, judging by how many were saying "yeah, I knew honey was good", no one had bothered to read the paper itself, but were reacting on the headline. And so perpetuates the bad science and the bad dietary advice everyone is fond of sharing.
