While this may be a subject better left to the chemists or Food Scientists 
amongst us, I do believe that there is some merit to the "myth", as I have 
heard it before.  I believe it has something to do with a molecular bonding 
of the two different starches, which form a long carbohydrate molecule which 
is difficult for the enzymes/acids in the human stomache to break apart.  
Therefore, they must work on the ends of the chain, like two people eating 
the same piece of licorice whip.  I'm sure I'll be corrected if this is 
wrong, or at least the theory will be explained in greater detail.

Mr. Wizard, what happens when you combine pasta and antipasta?
