HealthRe: Wheat Flour Is A Dangerous Substitute For Garri, Amala And Pounded Yam. Dont Eat by segun50: 11:20am On Apr 07, 2021
In response to the topic
This article is totally misleading and does not believe in this. Yes, it is true that wheat flour has gluten but apart from those with celiac disease, the amount of gluten in wheat flour does not constitute a danger to healthy living. In fact, wheat flour is mostly recommended by doctors for healthy living because of the significant amount of fibers in it. Wheat flour is typically enriched with vitamins and minerals, including iron, folic acid, and other B vitamins, and whole wheat flour supplies fiber. You can't count on gluten-free flours to provide the same nutrient profile. Simply swapping regular bread, cakes, and other baked items for gluten-free products without any regard for calories can easily lead to weight gain. Doctors warn that gluten-free baked goods won't necessarily help you with weight control, and they may hinder weight control efforts. Although there's no shortage of refined carbohydrates in most commercial gluten-free baked goods, most are lower in fiber. When there's no gluten in a recipe, it takes far more gluten-free ingredients to produce a tasty product. Gluten-free or not, it always pays to be aware of your personal calorie budget for weight control. To condemn wheat flour and consider it dangerous to health is totally misleading - Richmond Adebiaye
