Nutritional Value of Fresh-Milled Whole Wheat Bread

Nonnieb asked me how she could explain the nutritional value of bread made with fresh-milled flour. I don't have a lot of time to research at the moment, but I did take a few minutes to see if I could find any good articles online. Here's what I found. I hope this helps you explain to your family why fresh-milled flour is better. Obvious reasons include:

-no bleaching
-no additives, preservatives, anti-mold agents etc...
-no irradiation treatment (that keeps critters out of flour that is stored for a long time)
-fresh, full vitamin, mineral, oil and fiber benefits of the entire wheat berry

I hope this helps Nonnieb!
