I was having a little trouble with my blood sugar and cholesterol and the doc told me to stay away from all white flour stuff. She gave me this substitute to try for 3 months. My wife now makes gravy with the wheat flour and I can't tell the difference anymore. Doc said the first ingredient on the flour must be Whole Wheat or it's not the stuff good for you. Whether changing our bread to all wheat did the job or not I won't say but my blood sugar and cholesterol have gone down into the mid range of the acceptable window.
