The flour processors, in processing whole grain wheat into "WHITE" flour [also referred to as "Enriched"flour], in effect "grind off all the good stuff," leaving nothing but almost pure starch.
When they finish milling the flour, there are NO vitamins,minerals, or FIBER left, they are all removed in the milling process. In order to give it some nutritional value, they then add-back SOME vitamins and minerals, but the result is NOT NEARLY so nutritious as if they had simply ground the whole wheat grain into flour. But then, the flour would not be "white," and "pretty."
Now, today, IF one keeps up with the large number of health studies, we see results of recent clinical studies that confirm what my doctor told me nearly 30 years ago.
Again, the answer to the question whether enriched flour [highly processed "white" flour] is bad for you, the answer is a resounding yes.

Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
