Ieri il web è impazzito con questa storia che la pasta possa far dimagrire…

Del resto la gente vuol dimagrire, mica star bene!?! Per quello ci pensano le pillole…
Articoli di tutte le testate più lette mainstrem che riportavano questa incredibile notizia BOMBA!

Per esempio: qui

Questi di blastingnews che prima mi chiedono un’intervista (scritta) e poi non la pubblicano: qui

Addirittura un amico d’infanzia, da poco passato alla paleo (con risultati salvavita, e non esagero), mi manda via whatsapp sti articoli pensando lo avessi preso per il culo tutto questo tempo… Che ti fa pensare: “ma chi me lo fa fare”?

Ma poi mi sono pure rotto di perdere inutilmente tempo a spulciare gli studi cercando le falle. Sinceramente dovrei andare avanti per la mia strada e fottermene.

Tagliamo corto altrimenti non la finisco più e già la gente non mi sopporta… Figuriamoci…

In questi casi la prima cosa che faccio è andare a cercare lo studio originale. Subito mi salta al naso che nessuno di questi articoli ha il link allo studio originale. Scatta automatico il pensiero “complottaro” che sia stato fornito ciò da scrivere ai giornalisti, qualche input, due righe da un’agenzia di stampa e poco altro… Ed hanno redatto l’articolo in modo acritico, senza conoscere nulla di nutrizione e poco altro… Una bella mezz’oretta per trovarlo… E vai!

Ma andiamo al sodo. Ecco l’articolo: full text

Salta anche all’occhio il prestigio del Journal. Nientedimeno che il British Medical Journal…

I ricercatori hanno eseguito una metanalisi andando a pescare dalla letteratura scientifica altri articoli RCT e poi li hanno messi insieme con analisi statistiche. Adesso ridiamo insieme:

Guardate in figura: DI OLTRE 4000 STUDI SELEZIONATI (UDITE UDITE) NE HANNO CONSIDERATI SOLO 32!!!!! MENO DELL’1%!

E già questo la dice lunga…

0 (ZERO) CON LA PASTA DA SOLA!!!!
32 CON LA PASTA ABBINATA AD UNA DIETA GENERALE A BASSO INDICE GLICEMICO!!!!

Cioè tutti gli studi elegibili per la metanalisi avevano la stessa caratteristica. Ohibò! Ma a un soggetto pensante, anche non esperto di nutrizione, già gli dovrebbe venire qualche dubbio!!!!
A un esperto di nutrizione non solo gli viene il dubbio ma gli viene anche il lecito sospetto che la selezione sia stata pilotata da hoc per ottenere certi risultati. Ma adesso ci arriviamo…

Nonostante tutte le manipolazioni abbiamo inoltre:

31 studi su 32 (!!!!) con diabetici ed 1 con cardiopatici. TUTTI MALATI!
Non si fa menzione di eventuale controllo calorico (incredibile per uno studio nutrizionale)
La media di durata degli studi è di SOLI 3 mesi!!!!! E sappiamo che la gente 3 mesi le regge le diete abbastanza bene.
Non si fa menzione ad eventuali carenze nutrizionali. Mah!
Non si fa menzione a miglioramenti metabolici se non il peso! E dai!

Ah già il peso… UDITE UDITE!!!

In tre mesi di durata media:

mangiare pasta, appena 3 volte a settimana (praticamente niente, negli studi si fa mangiare 50-60 gr a porzione normalmente) in un’ottica di una dieta in generale a basso impatto glicemico (presumo molto simile alla paleo), ha ridotto il peso di MEZZO CHILO (magari un po’ d’acqua)…

RISULTATONI!!!! ESULTIAMO!!! TITOLONI DEI GIORNALI!!!!! E VAIIIII!!!!

Un giornalista minimamente onesto avrebbe dovuto dire che: circa 200 gr. di pasta a settimana inseriti in una dieta a basso indice glicemico, non influiscono sul peso.

Con una semplice dieta paleolitica si perdono CHILI E CHILI in 3 mesi (se si è sovrappeso, od obesi)!

Impressionante e persistente effetto della dieta paleolitica nel trattamento della steatosi epatica non alcolica

Follie… Gli stessi ricercatori non possono negare che forse occorrerebbero studi più a lungo termine…

Ricordiamoci inoltre che lo studio è canadese e che il Canada fornisce gran parte della materia prima per produrre la pasta (il grano). Una fantastica joint venture Canada-Italia a tutela degli interessi delle multinazionali che ci lavorano…

Ma non finisce qui…. Preparatevi… Stringete le cinture di sicurezza!!!!

SIETE PRONTI?

Sezione conflitti d’interesse in fondo allo studio. TUTTI VERGINELLI…

I ricercatori hanno TUTTI lavorato per:

enti finanziati dall’industria agricola
finanziamenti da produttori di pessimi oli vegetali
quasi tutti gli studiosi sono stati consulenti della BARILLA
Kellog’s!!!!!
aziende farmaceutiche produttrici di farmaci per diabetici (Bayer)
membri di International Carbohydrate Quality Consortium (ICQC), Executive Board Member of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), is on the Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee for Nutrition Therapy of the EASD (tutti iperfinanziati da colossi già citati sopra)
Danone
Nestlè
Cocacola
Pepsicola
Soia
Latte…
una serie infinita…

PRATICAMENTE PIU’ CHE RICERCATORI, POTREMMO DEFINIRLI POLITICI, MASCHERATI DA SCIENZIATI AL SOLDO DELLE PIU’ POTENTI MULTINAZIONALI.

E mi assumo tutte le responsabilità per queste dichiarazioni.

L’elenco completo E’ RACCAPRICCIANTE!
