Does Eating High-Glycemic-Index Foods Lead to Obesity, Diabetes, and Heart Disease?

چکیده
According to four of the most popular diet books of recent years The Zone (1995), whose primary author is Barry Sears, Ph.D., Protein Power (1997), by medical doctors Michael R. Eades and Mary Dan Eades, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (1997), by Robert C. Atkins, M.D., and Sugar Busters! Cut Sugar to Trim Fat (1998), by H. Leighton Steward and associates diets high in carbohydrate (CHO) are responsible for insulin increases that inhibit fat-burning and lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), and atherosclerosis (specifically, coronary heart disease, or CHD). More recently, actress Suzanne Somers has joined the anti-CHO bandwagon, with Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food (1999).

Glycemic Index for the Management of Chronic Disease: Why Certain Foods Like Raisin may be Beneficial
The glycemic index (GI) refers to impact of the ingestion of carbohydrate-containing foods on blood sugar concentrations. High-GI foods increase blood glucose levels more and for a longer time, than those with low GIs. It appears that those who adopt a low-GI diet have a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Carbohydrate-containing foods on a low-GI diet include ...
متن کاملThe Potential of an in Vitro Digestion Method for Predicting Glycemic Response of Foods and Meals
Increased interest in glycemic response derives from its linkage with chronic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Our objective was to develop an in vitro method that predicts glycemic response. We proposed a simulated gastrointestinal digestion protocol that uses the concentration of dialyzable glucose (glucose in the soluble low molecular weight fraction of digests) as an index f...
متن کاملDietary carbohydrates, physical inactivity, obesity, and the 'metabolic syndrome' as predictors of coronary heart disease.
Several decades of epidemiological and clinical research have identified physical inactivity, excessive calorie consumption, and excess weight as common risk factors for both type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease. This trio forms the environmental substrate for a now well-recognized metabolic phenotype called the insulin resistance syndrome. Recent data suggest that a high intake ...

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases. With regard to the importance of blood glucose regulation in prevention of diabetic complications, glycemic and insulinemic response determination of foods containing carbohydrates is greatly important. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was to determine the effect of low glycemic index foods taken at dinner on fasti...
