Answers:
Whole wheat does contain nutrients that are absent from raw white flour!. But they are mostly put back in enriched flour, which is almost universal!. And none of the nutrients in whole wheat are hard to obtain from other foods!.
If one eats a varied diet, the choice of white or whole wheat flour becomes purely a matter of taste!.
Personally, I prefer rye bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Whole wheat stuff is higher in fibre than white!. Most people don't get enough fibre in their diets!. Your meant to have around 30g of fibre day, most people have much less than that!.

I am big fan of wholewheat pasta myself, and love trying different breads!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

yea but not all whole wheat is created equal!. You really need to check the ingredients!. If it uses whole wheat flour, it's still not that great for you!. Look for stone ground or cracked wheat in the ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
