heres an excerpt from the above site

---

Flour mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty bad. Here are a few of them: oxide of nitrogen, chlorine, chloride, nitrosyl and benzoyl peroxide mixed with various chemical salts.

One bleaching agent, chloride oxide, combined with whatever proteins are still left in the flour, produces alloxan. Alloxon is a poison and has been used to produce diabetes in laboratory animals. Chlorine oxide destroys the vital wheat germ oil. It will also shorten the flour’s shelf life and nurture insects.

I use granary flour and make faaabulous loaves. lovely and soft. in my cheapo bread machine, its as good as cake with a bit of home made jam (also made in the machine)

good for you, fills you up, healthy and lower much lower on the GI index.

Thanks Cathy. Will take better look later- when kids in bed. Have banned Smarties for years for eldest, but not given much thought to other things.

franky

what has this got to do with moneysaving ???

cathy_3

not a lot unless you stop buying all the sweets etc then youd save a fortune

this board naturally goes off on tangents, especially as its about old fashioned stuff

ok?

franky

but this is a moneysaving site, :-/
there is already the msa for lighthearted stuff
and discussion board for serious chat
there are lots of other sites and forums online where you can discuss recipes etc so why clog up a fab site like this with stuff that is not relevant ???
