- tptacek 16y agoNo, I don't think that's true. Grains in general are troublesome (there are some worse than others, so that for instance bran won't kill you and flax is downright good for you [but yech]), but this isn't some fad about how bleached flour is particularly bad for you. Foods consisting primarily of flour are in general not going to be particularly healthy. Here's a link: http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Glycemic_index_and_glycemic_load_for_100_foods.htm http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Glycemic_index_and_gl... 'carbocation posted a link to an Excel spreadsheet of GI listings for lots of foods, too. You'll find that the lists aren't simply about demonizing Coca Cola and Wonder Bread.
