What if there was a food that could give you many of the
health benefits of a multivitamin? One that was
packed with protein and
complex carbohydrates for energy,
iron and B vitamins for a healthy central nervous system, contained almost
no fat and
tasted wonderful? Look no further than the
American Italian Pasta Company... Pasta is just that food!

Glycemic Greatness
When you combine your pasta with other good-for-you, vitamin rich vegetables like
spinach, tomatoes, and asparagus, you will be giving your body a boost of energy and may even
reduce your risks of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Pasta has a
low glycemic index of 41 (on a scale from 1 to 100). The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates according to how much they raise levels of blood sugar. Complex carbohydrates, found in all pasta, fuel the glucose in our bodies which powers our brain, muscles, organs, and even our red blood cells. And because pasta is usually served with other ingredients, it can become one of the
healthiest meals you may eat.
