Over the years, I've heard so
many horror stories about pasta that I'm still not sure if those
little slimy strands are very healthy to eat! After all, this is the
21st Century and science should have some hard evidence by
now... right? Well, maybe not...
The thing is, if you have taken the
time to listen to the so-called experts, most everything has
been considered bad for you, at one point in time or another.
(I won't bother to go into the minutiae of the stories put out by the
various publications over the years and years, you can look them up).
The truth is, most of the dire
warnings about harmful foods are based upon sometimes dubious reports
by experts who are often; biased, promoting a corporate agenda for
profit or are just plain wrong! These same individuals have published
flawed and ill-conceived studies, that over time, have
been revealed as incorrect! Smoke and mirrors science, don't you
know. I'm sure it was good media press at the time...
So, if you've managed to get beyond all
the hype and smoke, let's look at a this rather simplistic breakfast
creation! It's 67 grams pasta in a plain tomato sauce (also about 67 grams) with toast and a cup milk. The nutritional panel shows
that the calories were just 317 with low saturated fats, some fiber and a nice dose of protein. By any measure, this is an excellent 'diet' conscious meal that is possibly only lacking a small salad to complete it.
