据外媒报道，《营养与糖尿病》杂志刊登研究显示，食用意大利面不仅有助减肥，同时可以维持良好的身体质量指数（BMI）。
本次研究对2万3000多名成年人进行了调查。研究发现，摄取意大利面与地中海饮食相关联，这类饮食含有大量的蔬菜、水果、鱼类、橄榄油及谷物，可降低心脏病及中风的风险，同时可以预防老人痴呆症。

A little bit of what's irresistible is good for you, Italian scientists have discovered.
Their analysis of more than 23,000 people found that eating some pasta is associated with a lower body mass index. Those who enjoyed their noodles were less likely to be overweight and obese.
“Our results are in agreement with a relatively recent study examining food and nutrient intakes in association with BMI in 1,794 United States middle-aged adults, showing that pasta intake among other food groups is negatively associated with BMI,” the researchers wrote.
Their new research appeared in Nutrition and Diabetes just in time for Independence Day, with its pasta salads at picnics and barbecues.
