   The whole history of processing foods shows that as we take out the   
   unnecessary stuff, like bran, then we discover that we have removed   
   things that are necessary.  Lots of processing removed or destroyed   
   vitamins, but since we hadn't discovered them yet, we didn't miss them   
   until people started developing vitamin deficiencies.  Once we removed   
   all the unnecessary stuff and got food down to it's basic sugar, fat and   
   protein, we found out that those weren't sufficient for good health.
