Starch: Was Re: Newbie question on fats.

[Guest guest]

Hi Ruth:

Sorry.

Whole grain bread contains the WHOLE grain. The WHOLE grain contains

the 'endosperm' from which white bread is made, and which constitutes

eighty-something percent of the seed. So **ALL** whole grain bread

is ~82% the exact same stuff as white bread is made from. And it

always will be, as long as whole grain bread it is made from the

WHOLE grain.

If/when people start making bread from the bran and germ only, it

will not contain the stuff that white bread is made from. But then

it will not be whole grain bread because it will not be made from the

WHOLE grain.

Enough!!! I'm off to bed!
