Summary: Although the oil in wheat is extremely beneficial, it is also extremely delicate, writes Dr. Lee, making whole wheat flour "as perishable as milk." Truly nutritious bread can only be made with flour that is within hours of being ground. Because of this super quick rancidification of the oil in wheat, virtually all commercial "whole wheat" breads are of dubious nutritional value. The surest way to get the true benefits of wheat, Lee writes, is to buy a home flour mill and bake your bread with freshly ground flour. From Let's Live magazine, 1958.
