But nobody at the time knew it was necessary. We don't know much now
either. A recent report suggests that foods made from white (i.e.,
processed) flour are words for your constitution than saturated fat
(which turns out to be not that bad after all.)
Your hypothetical product reminds me of your plan to record a CD's worth
of music in a fraction of a bit. Your faith in your understanding of how
things work is hardly justified.
