Pasta scores very low on the glycemix index, I think it's at the same number as honey and table sugar and fruit juices. But the reason for this is because apparently the gluten molecules are bound a certain way in pasta to where it takes the body longer to break them down. So even though its low on the glycemix index, I think it still has a negative inflammatory effect because it takes so long to digest it.
It seems like pasta, and very hard heavy breads like certain burger buns and bread loafs, are the most inflammatory and take the longest to digest. they're also the heaviest.
whereas something like a croissant, danish, and some softer, lighter more crumbly burger buns seem to digest easier and cause less issues. rice seems to be easier than any of the pastas/most breads.
This may also be responsible for the benefits of fruits, milk, whey protein powder, fruit juices. They digest much easier than solid foods.
