Beyond all the technical evidence provided on your post, the facts speak for themselves. Italians have pasta every single day and they are mostly slim and healthy. Despite any research, reality shows that pasta can’t be harmful at all.

In fact, I moved to Italy, I started to eat a lot more of pasta that we did before and despite of it (or because of it) I lost extra weight and no bad side-effects showed up. So really evidence speaks for itself, is ridiculous to fight against reality, no matter how serious research may look.
