Abstract
The Committee on Food and Nutrition is strongly urged to recommend nation-wide use of whole wheat flour rather than "enriched" white flour for greater nutritional safety of the people under our war economy when "protective foods" of animal origin are becoming scarcer. This advice is based on the records of exptl. work with animals and on the history of the Danish, English, Canadian, and American experience with war breads in the present and earlier wars. Compared to whole wheat flour, "enriched" white flour is still impoverished with respect to fat, protein, minerals and vits. other than thiamine.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
