Scientific research on un-refined flour Did Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam ever eat roti made of white flour? White flour had never come before Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. In the time of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam the sieves were such that they would keep the twigs and other such items back. The flour was always coarse. Roti made with such flour is healthy for a person. Generally bread made with refined flour becomes lumps in the stomach. Similarly margarine becomes plastic in the stomach. However roti is digestible. If the stomach of a person is not in order due to eating un-healthy foods, medication that is used to treat various sicknesses will also be ineffective. Nowadays, the roughage (such as the husk and bran) is removed from the flour whereas these are things that are required in the body. Thereafter these items are sold separately on the market. The husk keeps the cholesterol levels in control and lecithin keep the blood thin. Cardiologist also recommend rough flour with husk as it is healthy for the heart. They claim that the husk doesn’t allow the arteries to narrow but keeps it wide and allows blood to flow freely as required. In the USA it was discovered lately that one of the pharmaceutical companies were responsible for adding asinine in poultry feed which causes cancer. The very same company will then manufacture the relevant drug to fight cancer. This is how these companies make millions. The USA is now removing all these feeds of their shelves, but the damage caused is un-imaginable as this was only discovered after 60 years. There are still many other countries that market this poultry feed as well. We should therefore emulate the sunnah in eating as well as it will allow one to live a healthy life. لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ Most certainly there is a beautiful example for you in Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam
