What type of flour to use is a question that can be answered from a health perspective or the merits contributed to baking various items. From a health perspective you may wish to avoid bleached flour and commercially baked breads that use it. "Chlorine is the common bleaching agent used to whiten flour. While the FDA has approved the use of chlorine in flour, you may prefer to avoid this additive and use flour in its more natural state." The Prepared Pantry at http://www.preparedpantry.com/flourprimer.htm offers this solid advice and is a company that considers our health in what they sell. They also provide good examples of when to use which product for various types of baking. Other sources suggest the bleaching process allows companies to produce lower quality flour using the bleaching process to enhance its look. Despite the logic behind why it is used, Chlorine is not something we should ingest on a regular basis. We already get plenty in our drinking water. chlorine also removes most fo the nutrients flour. The FDA requires many of these nutrients to be replaced. The CDC (Center for Disease Control and prevention) states, "Chlorine is one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals in the United States. Its most important use is as a bleach in the manufacture of paper and cloth, but it is also used to make pesticides (insect killers), rubber, and solvents." http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/chlorine/basics/facts.asp What companies sell is their choice, what we buy is ours. Choose wisely since your health has a lot to do with the length and quality of your life. John http://healthylife.rmtrain.com/
