Welcome to the new issue of The Truth About Pasta, the newsletter from the International Pasta Organization. Each newsletter features a new and different topic -- all pointing to The Truth About Pasta. The truth is...pasta is healthy, sustainable, convenient, delicious, affordable, doesn't make you fat, and much, much more. Be sure to look for each new issue, with more topics and information.

This month we are introducing a NEW TED-Ed lesson which explains why pasta does not make you fat.

Research continually confirms that excess calories, and not carbohydrates, are responsible for obesity. No-carb and very low-carb diets are not a long term solution to weight loss, as our bodies rely on carbohydrates to function properly. Plus, pasta is a natural companion for vegetables, legumes, lean proteins, and other nutritious foods that promote a healthy weight. Learn why pasta does not make you fat in our new TED-Ed video.

After you view the video, test your knowledge with our TED-Ed lesson.
