Abstract

The clinical application of the glycemic index GI to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases is controversial No evidence exists for the implementation of lowGI diets for a reduction in coronary heart disease CHD mortality events or morbidity Observational studies report conflicting evidence on the role of lowGI diets in CHD and risk factors for CHD Randomized clinical trials report a small reduction in total cholesterol 66 mg/dL from lowGI diets compared with highGI diets but no reduction in other risk factors such as lowdensity lipoprotein or highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol triglycerides fasting glucose insulin or body weight Currently the research suggests a minimal role for the implementation of lowGI diets in the prevention or treatment of CHD
