White flour is another food that deserves our attention. Here is why! Take a slice of white bread, place it in a small container and pour water on it. Almost instantly it becomes like a paste. Its like paste that you can hang wallpaper with it1
Do you realize that piece of white bread may be doing the same thing in your colon? The paste you are eating may gum up your colon - causing constipation.
The manner in which processed white bread is made should give you concern. First, outer shell is removed from the whole grain with healthy fiber and its vitamins. Next, the germ is extracted. It contains the majority of the nutrients - vitamin E, and B vitamins and minerals. Both the shell (fiber) and the germ are marketed health food stores, which speaks volumes.
What remains is the endosperm, or starch, which is ground into fine powder. But since its not white, they add bleaching agents. The nutritional value is practically zero, so they add some inexpensive cheap vitamins and minerals. If there is any life remaining, they cook it out, then market the remains as" enriched bread"
The product advertised to build strong bodies can do just the opposite. When you are replacing your cells with white breads, you are constructing a fragile dwelling place. We need to remember that breads, pasta and white rice are starches and are converted to sugars in our body. When you choose bread, be sure it contains the whole grains or the" word whole grains" are on the label. It is the only way you'll receive the "goodness" that is processed out of most bread. Also look for brown rice and whole grain pasta.
