Pnm-28: Dietary Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, and The Risk of Endometrial Cancer
Background Endometrial cancer is a hormone-dependent disease and has been consistently associated with obesity. Non genetic lifestyle factors may account for more than 75% of endometrial cancer cases and represent potential targets for prevention of this disease. Insulin resistance induced by diet may play a particularly pernicious role in the development of endometrial cancer, possibly by redu...
متن کاملDietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and risk of incident breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are associated with increased risk of breast cancer in several studies. Circulating concentrations of insulin increase with dietary consumption of high glycemic index foods, which, in turn, may influence IGF-I levels or activity, but the relevance of such dietary patterns for breast cancer risk is unclear. We investigated whether consumption of c...
متن کاملDietary carbohydrate, glycemic index, and glycemic load in relation to risk of colorectal cancer in women.
Diets with a high glycemic index and glycemic load have been hypothesized to be implicated in the etiology of colorectal cancer owing to their potential to increase postprandial glucose and insulin levels. Prospective data on glycemic index and glycemic load in relation to colorectal cancer risk are limited and inconsistent. Therefore, the authors prospectively investigated the associations of ...
متن کاملDietary glycemic index and glycemic load, and breast cancer risk: a case-control study.
BACKGROUND Certain types of carbohydrates increase glucose and insulin levels to a greater extent than others. In turn, insulin may raise levels of insulin-like growth factors, which may influence breast cancer risk. We analyzed the effect of type and amount of carbohydrates on breast cancer risk, using the glycemic index and the glycemic load measures in a large case-control study conducted in...

متن کاملDietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and risk of cancer: a prospective cohort study.
Previous studies have provided limited evidence for a harmful effect of high glycemic index and dietary glycemic load on cancer. The authors analyzed associations among glycemic index, glycemic load, and risk of cancer in women and men in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study. Published glycemic index values were assigned to 225 foods/food groups. Glycemic load was calcul...
