More Pasta, Smaller Waistline?

A study appearing in the journal Nutrition and Diabetes found a correlation between high pasta consumption and lower BMI. In this 150-second analysis, MedPage Today clinical reviewer F. Perry Wilson reviews whether the findings should be swallowed whole, and gives a lesson in the statistics behind "Simpson's Paradox."

He then attended Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.
