What's the problem with sifting?
Sifting removes fiber and other key nutrients
All white flours have been sifted to remove as much bran (i.e. little brown pieces) as possible. The bran holds minerals, fiber, vitamin B6, thiamine, folate, some vitamin E, and some photochemical. Specifically, the bran has antioxidants such as phenolic compounds (Shewry, 2009) (Source)
The milled bran has sharp edges that can cut through gluten strands, but it also serves a healthful purpose to sweep out impurities from the intestinal tract as it passes, as well as to bulk fecal matter. It may not be a dinner table-type conversation, but it is a necessary function for healthy living. Unfortunately much of America is plagued by some degree of constipation (Read more in the FIBER SECTION).
