For the longest time I’ve avoided wheat because of the gluten devil, however I have recently been experimenting eating wheat products lately to great effect, better than other starch surprisingly.
iron fortification of wheat is a big problem however in the UK wheat is also fortified with calcium, which to my understanding will help block iron absorption. Calcium will also balance out the phosphorus, in addition to helping glucose utilisation...So the added calcium could be beneficial in making refined wheat a good source of carbs... as well as a source of calcium
thoughts?
