Can pasta make you slimmer? Probably not, but after a whole lot of statistical magic from a new study (partially funded by a pasta company), the answer becomes yes.
Lots of media outlets happily publish this Barilla-funded click-bait, apparently without actually looking at the numbers in the study:
Quartz: Upending years of misconceptions, researchers have found that eating pasta can keep us lean
TIME: Eating Pasta Does Not Cause Obesity, Italian Study Finds
CNBC: Pasta doesn’t make you fat, say Italian scientists
CNN: Enjoy that pasta salad: Noodles linked to lower BMI
Newsy: Study Suggests Pasta Won’t Hurt Your Waistline
Just one tiny problem. The study data showed the opposite. Obese people – both men and women – ate more pasta! Thin people ate less pasta.
So how come the conclusion of the study and the media headlines say the exact opposite? Well the researchers made some “adjustments” to the data.
