So, was there yeast in Wonder Bread (or currently in Wonder Bread)? All air rising? A second cousin of cotton candy? Or is there unfulfilled yeast in Wonder Bread?

I think you'll find yeast listed as an ingredient. The crucial point is that the manufacturer does not permit the bread dough the time to let the yeast reproduce and rise the bread; rather, it beats the dough to integrate air into it.

And Dr Bill, whatever bleaching chemical was outlawed did not preclude the bleaching of flour. A lot -- most? -- white flours in the US are chemically bleached. One flour which is not is Robin Hood. http://www.robinhood.ca/
