879.0. "Pasta bad???" by POBOX::SEIBERTR () Wed Feb 22 1995 16:11

    Did anyone here on the news about pasta not being a good diet food
    because it causes sugar in the body?  I missed it and my husband
    only caught the tail end.  We eat a lot of pasta so I was wondering
    if someone who heard the whole thing could elaborate.  I'm hoping
    he misunderstood!

879.1Didn't see it, eitherVAXUUM::FARINAWed Feb 22 1995 20:227
    I purposely didn't watch it!!  I don't want to know, frankly!  ;-)  I
    have always believed the issue to be the same as with potatoes - it's
    not the pasta or potato, but what you put on it.  Also, 1 cup of cooked
    pasta is one serving, and most people eat several cups.

879.2Go ahead and eat it!DPDMAI::WALLACEJWed Feb 22 1995 20:589
    Hi!  I'm new to this conference so you haven't heard from me before. 
    As for the pasta scare, I did see a news story and evidently some
    people have a problem with their body being able to properly process
    the pasta.  From what I understand this is a small percentage and
    should not affect the majority of us pasta lovers!  Hope this helps.
