Pasta has got a bad rap lately, and it seems, quite unfairly. Recently published research indicates that pasta consumption doesn’t contribute to obesity, and was actually linked to a lower body mass index. While surveying the eating habits of 23,000 Italians, researchers found that pasta did not correlate to waist size or BMI among those studied.That fact is, pasta is a staple ingredient of a Mediterranean style diet. Yep, that’s right. One of the most popular, effective and gimmick free eating plans of this millennium, the Mediterranean Diet, wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for pasta. |
