Enriched Flour Adds Little Nutrients and Causes Colon Cancer
Enriched flour might sound like its shock-full of essential nutrients. But that word “enriched” is quite deceptive. In fact, unlike whole grains, enriched flour products lose nutrients, proteins, and fibers during processing. With whole grains, you get improved fiber consumption, which reduces the chances of colon cancer. However, with this processed flour, you are consuming products deplete of vitamins and fibers. Consequently, you are increasing risk of colon cancer with improper bowel movements. Common sources of these enriched, processed flours are enriched white and wheat breads, pasta, pizza crust, pie crust,
cakes, pastries, and cold cereals.
