The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council has reported to the Minister for Health, Sir Frederick Stewart, that, while its investigations into the Vitamin Bl content of the Australian diet were not complete, it appeared that Australian white flotir contained appreciable quantities of this vitamin. Information before the council showed that the amount of Vitamin Bl present in white bread provided about one-third of the daily intake of the vitamin. “A high consumption of other carbohydrates, such as sugar, confectionery, and biscuits, which contain but small quantities of Vitamin Bl when compared with white bread, is more likely to influence the Vitamin Bl content of the diet adversely than the white bread eaten,” the report says. “The council considers that flour-millers, bakers, and all other interested parties should not make any alterations to existing formulae of flour-milling or bread-making until the final findings of the council’s nutrition committee are available.
