#8 – White Flour
White flour is refined flour, which means that all nutritional value is removed during the process. Then it’s bleached using chlorine gas to make it more white and appealing to consumers.
If this is not enough to scare you off, the glycemic index for this flour is extremely high, which means it spikes your insulin levels without offering any nutritional fuel.
Since your body converts carbs into sugars, excessive consumption of products made with white flour can increase your insulin resistance. Simple sugars such as refined carbohydrates are a great fuel source for cancer.
