In parties we find lot of items made out of refined flour which can lead to diabetes and other health hazards. Refined flour is made out of wheat which is first soaked and there after upper husk is completely removed by which magnesium, phosphorus and the 14 vitamins are also washed away. The flour is then bleached with help of benzoyl peroxide to give color. To give right texture alloxan is used which is used in laboratories to induce diabetes in mice. We need to keep away from this white flour as much as possible.
