Vita-Mix Why Whole Grains? In the United States (and many other nations) 98% of pasta, bread, pastries, and pancakes are made with white flour. Frequently, such products are caramel colored to make you think you are eating 100% whole wheat products. White flour products are missing 62% of the zinc found in whole wheat. Is it any wonder that half of United States citizens are zinc deficient? Zinc is a part of every living cell and is essential for the activity of over 200 biological enzymes. It is critical for normal hormonal activity and a healthy immune system. Three our of four Americans don't have enough magesium in their diet. White flour is missing 72% of the magnesium compared to whole wheat. Magnesium is a must in over 300 enzyme activities--especially the production of ATP (which helps supple energy to every part of your body). It's a must for a healthy heart. Magnesium dilates arteries and bronchial passages. When added to calcium intake, it is 16 times more effective at promoting bone density than calcium alone!
