It's a simple carbohydrate. So, depending on who you ask, it causes blood sugar spikes leading to insulin resistance, leaves you hungry again a few hours later, is addictive, and causes other maladies. Along with white bread, sugary drinks, cereals, etc., etc.
There are a lot of reasons one might not get fat, so a thin person who eats pasta is not surprising. But a fat person with a pasta addiction (like me) has a good idea where to start changing his diet.
- viewer5 12y agoIs non-white bread different?
- monitron 12y agoMaybe, because it contains more fiber and less carbohydrate for the same amount of bread. Google gives a nice infobox on the subject for the query "white bread vs wheat bread".
- lingben 12y agoI used to eat a lot of whole wheat bread until I discovered that its glycemic index is not that different and even more shocking, that it acts like a 'sponge' soaking up and removing many other useful vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients from the gut
- DanBC 12y agoA minor correction: it's a complex carbohydrate.
