By Sally Robertson, BScApril 3, 2018
A new study suggests that pasta can be included as part of a healthy diet, without necessarily leading to weight gain.
Pasta is an example of a “refined carbohydrateâ€, which have previously received a lot of bad press and been implicated as contributors to the obesity epidemic. This is due to most refined carbs being quickly absorbed by the bloodstream.
However, pasta has a low glycemic index and therefore does not increase blood sugar levels to the same degree as comparable carbohydrates.
