Tempting it may be, but it wreaks havoc on your health like no other food...

Maida or Refined flour is a very close member of our ingredients used in kitchen. Mostly of us use Refined flour to most of the foods as it gives a better texture to the product. But my question is, Is It worth eating any food which will give your food a better texture but at the same time it is harmful for your body? For me texture is secondary and what comes first is my health.

What will happen if you add Maida flour to your diet everyday? Results of using it in your diet is not sudden. Maida Flour has various side effects and disadvantages. Using it over a long period of time will have its consequence on out body system. It is a refined wheat flour from which fiber is been eliminated. No only this, It is further bleached with benzoyl peroxide, which gives flour a pure white color and smooth texture. Benzoyl peroxide is banned in China and the European Union still it is been used by other countries.

Maida is a slow poison. First direct effect of maida is that it spikes up your sugar levels because it has very high glycemic index. To match up with the sugar spike, pancreas has to over work to release insulin in sufficient quantity to match up with sugar. Once in a while pancreas can manage but if you are using maida frequently then the insulin production will gradually reduce, finally making you a diabetic.

When blood sugar spikes, glucose builds up in the blood like so many standby passengers on a flight. When glucose loiters in the blood, it gets into trouble by attaching itself to nearby proteins. The result is a chemical reaction called glycation, a pro-inflammatory process that plays a role in a host of inflammatory diseases from cataracts to arthritis to heart disease.

Foods that are made from maida have a high glycaemic index for e.g. foods like noodles, pasta, white bread, etc. As maida has a high glycaemic index, it will release sugars into the bloodstream quickly. This causes a sharp insulin response, which over a period of time, with prolonged consumption of processed and refined food, causes inflammation, insulin resistance and eventually type II diabetes.
