Food Versus Barley Bread Claim Debunked
The British Food Controller limits barley flour in wheat mixes to 10 percent. Bureau of Chemistry tests show 25 percent white corn flour can be blended with wheat for a merchantable loaf, boosting wheat availability by 158 million bushels. Corn flour use yields 94 million bushels more than barley and saves $230 million. Americans favor corn bread over barley, and the claim that brewing grain reduces food supply is false.
