Conditions

Glycaemic index testing of different pastas Nutritional, Metabolic, Endocrine

Interventions

The subjects enrolled in the study are prescribed a standard healthy diet (defined “AHA type 1 diet” as per the study handbook that will be made available to the investigators before the recruitment p
the cooking time is the one suggested by the manufacture (+-20 sec) in all the tests. The pasta will then be taken in the most typical format of the Mediterra
