There is confusion over pasta because:
1)Controlled trials show pasta absorbed twice as slowly as
white bread.
2)Population studies in England and Italy showed that pasta
consuming people had higher Glycemic Quality and Glycemic
Load scores.
The above two arguments are misleading because: The GI
controlled study, English and Italian population studies only
show that people replacing bread with pasta will you achieve a
better score: (this is because the intake of pasta was
inversely correlated with the intake of bread.)
*****Also, pasta was the most significant aggrevator of
Glycemic score in the population with low glycemic score.*****
the study reports this in a positive light, (reporting bias),
to me it sounds like pasta is bad. Just because it is less bad
doesn't make it good.
Also I can add irrefutably based on the population studies
that after removing white bread along with
whole-grain/whole-meal bread, removing pasta has a greater
effect than removing potatos or any other food.

Therefore in ranked order you should remove the following
to improve GI score: Again this is based on above data and
does not work for any other populations that may arise in
the future
remove White Bread, remove Whole grain bread, remove pasta,
remove potatos.
Remember I'm just studying interactions I don't care about
whether Glycemic index is bad or good right now, the italian
study showed no effect on disease. i didn't care, it was the
best study i've read on GI as they actually report all of
their data, in a desperate attempt to prove that GI is a
useless figure hehe.
