Myth 1 : Pasta is a complex carb

Pasta is made up of white flour compacted together (white flour is a refined carbohydrate) , if pasta is a complex carb then by this rationale a sugar cube is a complex carb!

Myth 2 : Peanut Butter contains healthy fats

The peanuts in peanut butter have been roasted , whenever you heat esssential fatty acids even at low temperatures they are destoyed

Thanks for the GI info MR X , but i don't get it are you agreeing or disagreeing ?

Disagreeing.

You can find pasta that really truly can be considered complex carbs. Just have to look hard enough.

Peanut roasting temperatures are below the heat point that would destroy the EFAs.

"COOKING TEMPERATURE OF OILS

The cooking temperature of oils varies depending upon their omega 3 and omega 6 content. Omega 3 oil can take NO heat and must only be used cold. Omega 6 oil can take low heat. Since some oils contain different combinations of omega 3 or omega 6, and since they require different temperatures to keep them from turning to trans fats, it is important to know your oil content. For example, canola oil should not be used for cooking due to its omega 3 and omega 6 content"

Actually, when you talk about omega 3,6,9, you need to look at the big picture and confine into the smoking point to resolve the claim. If it is below the smoking point then the cellular breakdown is very unlikely. Further enzymes would need to be added, in order to break down the liquid (solid as well) for the pre-smoking scenario.

Disagreeing, even if your claim was correct, you would be discounting the added fiber content that is in the ingredients of most pasta. 2-3g fiber per 2oz, which lowers the GI automatically; thus, it doesn't come close to a "sugar cube".
