[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 646567, member: 21149"] Hi all. Perhaps my post was a bit rambling and not clear. I guess my point was that flour producers know that wheat is mainly starch but the best bits are only in the wholegrain types. Yes, some in the NHS do clarify that wholegrain is better for you i.e. lower-GI but many just say 'starchy carbs'. The fact that highly refined white flour is 100% starch and known to be high-GI and causes BS spikes makes some NHS advice particularly stupid, but I think most of us know that already. Just looked at the NHS Choices diet advice website where they explain at length that most of us eat too few starchy carbs and need to eat more; so that's why there are so many obese people and T2s [/QUOTE]
