Refining Process of Wheat

We often get asked 'If wheat is so bad for us then why do they say it's one of the healthiest things to eat?"

The following should shed some light on the topic taken from Standard Process:

The Refining Process of Wheat

1. Nutrient-rich bran and germ are removed, resulting in primarily empty, processed starch (flour).

2. Processed flour is often bleached to improve the appearance and texture of consumer goods.

3. Bleached flour is enriched by adding in a few isolated B vitamins and iron in an attempt to replace what has been removed.

4. Nutrient-deficient consumer goods with long shelf lives are the final result.

This is a simplification of the process but should give you an idea of the how the quality of the food in our country is not as good as it is said to be.
