Grocery Store Bread

I've been listening to David Wolfe in my Integrative Nutrition class and it's making an impression. Basically my head is swinging on a pendulum of fact-oids. I have no intention of become a raw-food-y BUT I will use several of his suggestions for SuperFoods.
Fact I already suspected(this puts the bread found in the supermarket in perspective): Refined wheat flour loses 83% of phenolics 79% flavonoids, 78% zeaxanthin, 51% leutin. All are plant compounds w/ health benefits.
