The answer is absolutely yes. Refined white flour not only lacks nutrients, but the refinement process also removes all fiber from the grain which allows white flour to be metabolized very quickly. The metabolized carbohydrates from white flour have quite a drastic affected on a person's glycemic response, which in turn does several things. It lowers immune system response, creates inflammation in the body, and disrupts digestion. Consumption of refined grains (particularly white wheat flour) have been found to be linked to many so called "diseases of civilization" such as Diabetes, obesity, autism, schizophrenia, depression, chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease (Arthritis, acne, chrones disease, roseacea, etc), irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diahearra, and the list goes on.
But don't just take my word for it, do your own research.
