Is Bisquick safe?

Hi all,
I was wondering if Bisquick was safe as long as I made pancakes and waffles with soy milk and egg whites. Also, what is the difference between bleached flour and unbleached flour, besides the obvious. All the bread recipes I have made require unbleached flour. I was just wondering if the bleached flour was unsafe.
Thanks!

How funny is that!! I was wondering if it's safe, too. I have a HUGE box of it in the freezer and would like to use it since I'm so broke this month, but I don't know if it will trigger my IBS.
Anxiously awaiting for a reply, too!!

Reduced Fat Bisquick is safe. Don't use the regular one - even using soy milk and egg whites, the fat content is too high.
As for the flour, as far as I know, bleached is fine.

I guess I will just have to go buy some reduced fat Bisquick, then. It's cheap and I can make lots of things with it.
Thank you!!

I go through Bisquick like I do toilet paper.
It's AWESOME stuff -- the Bisquick, not the toilet paper! There's a "Heart Healthy" version that I use all the time, but there's also a low fat which is good too. I go for the "Heart Healthy" because my major concern is cholesterol and high blood pressure, so I try to cut the fat as much as I can; however, the regular Bisquick works fine for me. Do a search for Bisquick, because this was discussed at length sometime back.
You're right; just substitute Egg Beaters and Soy Milk. And here's my hubby's favorite: Bisquick biscuits made with soy milk, minced onion, soy cheddar and garlic powder. OMG, they're to die for! He has me double the recipe, making beaucoup biscuits, and pop them all in the freezer so he can help himself; they freeze VERY well.
In those pancakes, pop some frozen or canned blueberries in your batter; it's a great way to sneak some fruit into your diet, and they're cooked, obviously, so they go down real well.
Unbleached or bleached flour, they're both fine.
