Not only just 'rotis', there are many food staples that are made of either wheat flour or refined flour; even though we know that 'atta' is better than 'maida', we still need to evaluate the nutritional quotient.

Wheat flour contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B5. It helps in boosting your energy.

Wheat flour is beneficial in increasing the number of blood cells in the body. Whereas maida's vitamin value gets lost easily.

Refined flour is not at all recommended to diabetic patients as it raises the blood sugar level. It is more acidic nature which causes bone loss in the body. 

'Maida roti' raises one's hunger pangs more which makes them eat more, and this makes one gain weight.

Wheat flour rotis are much healthier than maida. Those who suffer from arthiritis must avoid maida roti it is very unhealthy for them.
