Whole grain flour is flour that is unbleached, unbromated, and unenriched.  But what does all that mean?

Unbleached seems fairly obvious but I found it shocking nonetheless.  Bleached flour is just that, bleached.  Companies add benzoyl peroxide or chlorine dioxide to chemically whiten, or bleach, their flour.  It’s crazy to think that we’re actually eating something that has been treated with benzoyl peroxide (which you man recognize as an ingredient of acne crème) and chlorine dioxide (the same kind of stuff you use in the laundry or the pool).  (more…)

Sticking to the treatment diet means we end up reading a lot of food labels.  One ingredient in particular crops up fairly often.  Vinegar.  It’s in more foods that I ever realized.
