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 ...

D ata on dietary intake characterized by high glycemic index and glycemic load and development of type 2 diabetes have been inconsistent. A total of four studies have shown positive associations (1–4). One study showed consistent associations for both glycemic index and glycemic load (1), while in the other three, only glycemic index was predictive of diabetes (2–4). In contrast, the Atheroscle...

This study presents influence of millet flour blend on physical, functional, nutritional, cooking and organoleptic characteristics of noodles prepared from composite flour of millet flour blend, whole wheat flour and soy flour. Fiber and amylose/ amylopectin ratio increased significantly (p<0.05) with increase in level of millet flour blend incorporation. Cooking time of developed noodles from ...

PURPOSE To correlate speech rate and speech disruptions in individuals who clutter, and to compare with individuals who do not clutter. METHODS Participants were 14 individuals with ages between 8 and 40 years and 11 months, of both genders, divided into two groups paired by age and gender. GI was composed by seven individuals who clutter, and GII by seven individuals who do not clutter. The ...

OBJECTIVE We studied the association of digestible carbohydrates, fiber intake, glycemic index, and glycemic load with insulin sensitivity (S(I)), fasting insulin, acute insulin response (AIR), disposition index, BMI, and waist circumference. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data on 979 adults with normal (67%) and impaired (33%) glucose tolerance from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study ...

I t is essential that clinicians be aware of expected outcomes from possible nutrition therapy interventions so that they can assist people with diabetes using the best approaches to achieve metabolic goals. Outcomes can be predicted from evidence-based technical reviews or from meta-analyses. Both are now available: the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2002, Evidence-Based Nutrition Princip...

OBJECTIVE A low-glycemic index diet is effective as a treatment for individuals with diabetes and has been shown to improve pregnancy outcomes when used from the first trimester. A low-glycemic index diet is commonly advised as treatment for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the efficacy of this advice and associated pregnancy outcomes have not been systematically examine...

In this paper, the link between high glycemic index and load will be reviewed. The data from the literature discussed relate to a short presentation of the physiopathology of acne, including the influence of hyperinsulinemia as a key factor at the beginning of acne.

The glycemic index (GI) is a physiological assessment of a food’s carbohydrate content through its effect on postprandial blood glucose concentrations. Evidence from trials and observational studies suggests that this physiological classification may have relevance to those chronic Western diseases associated with overconsumption and inactivity leading to central obesity and insulin resistance....

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a rating system that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods according to their postprandial blood glucose response relative to the same quantity of available carbohydrate of a standard such as white bread or glucose. The concept of GI was first introduced in the early 80's by Jenkins and coworkers. Since then, numerous trials have been undertaken, many indicating benefit...
