Complex Carbohydrate Research Center.
The research, which was carried out by Sharwood's, showed that noodle dishes contained five times less fat than popular pasta dishes and were high in

Biomarkers are substances sometimes found in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues that measure biological processes, and in addition to genes and proteins, can be
complex carbohydrate (sugar) structures that are attached to protein and lipid (fat) molecules.
Protein carbohydrate interaction research is proving to have a huge potential for development in biological processes and many play a crucial role already in cellular recognition, attachment and adhesion, particularly in host-pathogen reactions that lead to infectious diseases as the surfaces of cells and pathogens have
complex carbohydrate structures and carbohydrate binding proteins on their surfaces.
The researchers attribute the results to cutting back on fat and replacing those calories with
complex carbohydrate calories from fruits, vegetables and whole grains, not refined carbs.
