background: in recent decades, studies on type 2 diabetes (t2d), have adopted a new approach to the field of a more complete collection of variables related to the lifestyles and diet of people. diet is an important factor in increasing the rate of t2d among individuals. considering the consumption of a high-carbohydrate diet, little attention has been paid to the type of carbohydrates consumed...

BACKGROUND The relationship between dietary glycemic index, glycemic load and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and stroke-related mortality is inconsistent. METHODS We systematically searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded databases using glycemic index, glycemic load, and cardiovascular disease and reference lists of retrieved articles up to April 30, 2...

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...

BACKGROUND Previous epidemiological investigations of associations between dietary glycemic intake and insulin resistance have used average daily measures of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). We explored multiple and novel measures of dietary glycemic intake to determine which was most predictive of an association with insulin resistance. METHODS Usual dietary intakes were assessed ...

metabolic diseases in china have been on the rise in recent decades, partially due to reduced cereal consumption and excessive intake of low glycemic index (gi) foods such as meat and oil. although the relationship between dietary glycemic load (gl) and various metabolic diseases has been extensively studied worldwide, it is unclear whether dietary gl is related to blood lipid levels and dyslip...
