Whole Wheat Help

Whole wheat flour is ground from whole hard red spring wheat berries, this has the heartiest, boldest flavor of any whole grain flour.
White whole wheat flour is ground from whole hard white wheat berries,this variety has the same nutritional value as regular whole wheat flour. White wheat is easy to substitute in baking recipes and has a milder taste and lighter color, more refined flavor then red spring wheat.
refined white flour contains only the starchy endosperm of the wheat berry. Whole wheat flour is made from the endosperm, the fiber and mineral rich bran and the vitamin and unsaturated oil rich germ. Whole wheat flour contains fewer calories and carbs and much more protein, fiber, calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus then refined flour.

Trans Fat Help!

So now that the trans fat labeling on foods is in effect what does it really mean? Trans fat free doesn't actually mean that there are no trans fats in the food- it means that there is less than a half a gram of trans fat in a serving. Eat three servings of trans fat free foods and you may consume as much as 1.5 grams of trans fat. And as we all know there are no safe levels of trans fat. So what to do? As always read the label, look out for ingredients such as partially hydrogenated oils and vegetable shortening avoid margarine and hydrogenated anything.
