This stuff annoys me to no end: "white flour is ‘a pure starch so nutritionally void’ that by law vitamins must be added back into it. White flour must be fortified with calcium, iron, thiamin and niacin to make up for the fact that the nutritious part of the wheat has been taken away during the milling process." In fact white flour is not pure starch (i.e. carbohydrates), it also contains proteins and fibers and some fat. And it's very nutritious, which means that it contain the calories and proteins we need most to get nourished. Of course you won't be healthy on a diet of flour alone, as you won't be healthy on any diet of a single basic ingredient, whatever it might be.
