White Flour
What starts out as a "good" thing, whole grains, becomes something that is poisonous to our body through processing. Most of us are aware of what happens in the milling process. First the outer shell called the bran (fiber) is removed and is either thrown away or sold at a health food store. Then the germ, which contains all the nutrients is removed because it "gums up" the machinery. The remaining endosperm is ground into a fine powder, but because it is not pure white (pretty), then it is "bleached" with an agent similar to Clorox. But now it contains no nutrients or fiber and no one will buy a product without some "benefit". So the bread maker adds some artificial coal-tar derived vitamins and minerals which have been shown to cause cancer. Now he can pass this on to the public as supposedly good food because it has been "enriched"! Notice this has no fiber and no nutrition! This is only the beginning. There is much more information regarding what this flour does once it is in our system, specifically in the colon.
