Wheat kernels from which the bran and the germ has been removed. Had the bran not been removed, you would have whole wheat flour (whole wheat flour doen't include the wheat germ).

The bran contains fiber and some useful vitamins and minerals. The US Enrichment Act of 1942 required the vitamins and minerals lost in the milling of white flour, such as iron, thiamin, niacin, and folic acid, be atificially added. Today white bread has more of these vitamins and minerals than whole wheat bread, although it is still lacking the fiber and some of the trace minerals of whole wheat flour.

Because of the lack of fiber to slow down the asorption of sugars, white flour can be dangerous to diabetics.
