Bread and pasta are suspect. Especially since the stormy rise of the Keto diet, there is the idea that it is better not to eat bread and pasta. But that is not only not true, it is even unhealthy not to eat whole wheat bread and whole wheat pasta. HLN writes about a study that shows this
For the study, which was published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, American researchers analyzed data from 416,104 men and women over a 16-year period. They mainly looked at which sources the participants used to get their daily protein intake.
If you take off your proteins vegetable sources such as whole wheat pasta and bread, the chance of cardiovascular disease and premature death is lower than if you take them out animal-like products such as meat, eggs and milk products. In women, the difference was 21 percent. If they exchanged meat for bread and pasta, the risk fell to 13 percent for men and 15 percent for women. These results remained valid if other factors such as smoking and diabetes were also taken into account.
