More evidence pasta is good for you

More evidence pasta is good for you: New research published in online journal Nutrition and Diabetes found people who regularly eat perfectly portioned pasta are less likely to be overweight and obese, according to a July 4th post on CNN.com.

“The team led by Dr. Licia Iacoviello of the IRCCS Istituto Neurologico Mediterraneo Neuromed soon discovered that pasta was not the big bad wolf within the food pyramid (as Americans like to think). Eating pasta helped both men and women stick to a healthy diet.”

The key to success is to enjoy the right portion of pasta — which is about the size of one baseball when cooked.
