Talk:Enriched flour

Is the USA the only country that enriches flour?
Can anyone tell me if the USA is the only country adding synthetic vitamins to their wheat flour? What about Canada - is this also "required" by law in Canada, or is it only some manufacturers that chose to do it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.79.11.27 (talk) 23:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This site lists 86 countries that enrich wheat flour. http://www.ffinetwork.org/global_progress/ David notMD (talk) 02:08, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Enriched Flower Bad for you?
Does anyone know anything about some nutritionists saying that Enriched Flower is bad for you and should be avoided (along with things like High Fructose Corn Syrup? --Quasar 18:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

high-fructose corn syrup is pure sugar, with no nutritional benefit (other than calories).

Enriched flour certainly has more B vitamin than refined flour that hasn't been enriched. It's just that whole grain flour is better than enriched flour.

Have you heard about the glycemic index? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

It is a migraine trigger - I know because it's one of mine! I'd love for that fact to be reflected on the main page, but don't know of a scholarly citation to back it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.218.91 (talk) 19:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Diseases
I know that they started enriching flour to prevent diseases and I wanted to find out more about those diseases. However, this article doesn't state which diseases they are. Some research into this would be helpful.
 * The diseases it helps to prevent would be those caused by deficiencies in the nutrients added back in to the flour. Examples would include folate deficiency and iron deficiency -Aqua 07:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Toxic kinds of iron
"There is also a significant difference in the type of iron added to enriched flour, a type that may be toxic rather than nutritional." Any non-crank source for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.3.162.47 (talk) 23:22, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
