I get asked all the time about wheat flour.... I love the stuff and have pretty much converted to using it for every recipe.  I do not have problems with it making my recipes too heavy.  I find, if you get a good brand that is finely chopped/processed and sifted it doesn't weigh down your foods.  Just a FYI for all of those naysayers.... I would never know the difference in most of my foods.  Now cakes and really light foods...well I can see the white flour or a mix, but everything else....try the whole wheat!!
