I'm having some low carb spaghetti
It's really not too bad! I don't notice any difference.

1. How Do They Do That?
How do you make low starch wheat? I nonestly have never heard of such a thing. Is it made from some other grain or something?

3. I Read It. I Have Bad News
I don't believe it. The enzymes and acids in the stomach and small intestine will denature a protein in a matter of seconds. The protein coating will be useless.

You might to be careful about how much of this you believe. It would seem to defy the principles of biochemistry. I could be wrong, but it seems awfully suspicious. And, my first grad degree is in chemistry, so i kind of know what i'm talking about.

4. Much better to eat whole wheat spaghetti
And trick your body into thinking it ate more than it did, and also slowing down the digestion process with fiber.

As a result, less sugars, more energry.

On the down side, bad bad gas

5. Now, That Is Consistent With Science
Hey, i'm all for anything that helps people control their intake, but i'm really uncomfortable with the junk science that encourages people to do things that won't really help.

12. No Objections
Just be cautious. I'm not ridiculing. I'm just highly skeptical. Be careful about your expectations. If it works for you, we'll be happy about it together.
