2006-07-28 Low-glycemic index diet promotes weight loss, cardiovascular risk reduction

As a first step, physicians should help patients understand what the glycemic index is and then teach them to identify foods low on the index. "Typically, foods with a low degree of starch gelatinization, such as pasta, and those containing a high level of viscous soluble fiber, such as whole grain barley, oats and rye, have slower rates of digestion and lower glycemic index values," Dr. Liu writes. "Without any drastic change in regular dietary habits, for example, one can simply replace highglycemic index grains with lowglycemic index grains and starchy vegetables with less starchy ones and cut down on soft drinks that are often poor in nutrients yet high in glycemic load. " (Arch Intern Med. 2006;166:1438-1439. Available pre-embargo to the media at . )

Thats because, as with any rule, there are exceptions to the fairly consistent physiological rules that underlie the glycemic index. For instance, watermelon has a pretty high glycemic index, about 75, which is even higher than table sugar. Does that make it bad for you No. Because in spite of its high index, watermelon actually has a pretty low glycemic load. Thats a measure based on the amount of food youd actually consume, not just an arbitrary quantity used in testing, as with the index.

Past research has shown that the effect on blood glucose levels of different foods with the same carbohydrate content can vary by as much as five-fold. This has led to foods being assigned a glycemic index. The glycemic index multiplied by the amount of carbs indicates the glycemic load of a particular food.

To investigate further, they pooled the results of 14 clinical studies comparing the effects of diets with low versus high glycemic indexes on overall glycemic control in diabetic patients. Assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels indicated the degree of control over a period of time.

2006-08-01 Jamaica Gleaner News - Questions about food safety

Another campaign is currently being developed to restrict the use of tropical fruits and ground provisions. This campaign is being popularized by first world doctors and nutritionists and unfortunately, has been supported by some of our own local doctors and nutritionists. They argue that the increasing prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus worldwide is to be blamed on the consumption of food with high Glycemic Index. The Glycemic Index refers to the tendency of a food consumed to increase blood sugar and insulin levels. The higher the Glycemic Index of a food, the greater the glucose and insulin elevation after consumption of that food.

DEXTROSE OR GLUCOSE, has a higher glycemic value than table sugar and on most glycemic indexes, glucose is used to compare the value of other "foods" as glucose (which is actual blood sugar) has a faster release into your system than most any other sugar or food item which will result in a very sharp rise in your insulin levels. Diabetics should not use this sweetener. On labels it can also be called corn sugar.

2006-04-11 Natural Products Industry Insider - Glycemic Index Indicator of Early AMD

Researchers from the Jean Mayer U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University investigated the relationship between dietary carbohydrate quality, as measured by dietary glycemic index or total carbohydrate intake, and ARM. The study included 1,036 eyes from 526 Boston-area Nurses Health Study participants without a previous ARM diagnosis. Researchers used the Age-Related Eye Diseases Study system to classify the presence and degree of ARM, in conjunction with data from an average of four food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 10-year period before the assessment of ARM. They then employed a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios for ARM, also accounting for the lack of independence between the two eyes from the same subject.

2006-08-18 Honeys all the same when it comes to glucose Health

The glycemic index of a food is a measure of how quickly it causes blood sugar to rise. High carbohydrate, low fiber foods such as white bread or bananas have a high glycemic index, while high fiber foods containing complex carbs, including most vegetables, have a low glycemic index.

There was no statistically significant difference between the glycemic indexes of the four varieties of honey, the researchers found, and the fructose-to-glucose ratio of a honey variety had no relationship to its glycemic index.
