Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Inconsistent findings from observational studies have the contradictions about the effects of a GI and GL-Diet on the chance of getting certain chronic diseases. It was therefore carried out this review article.
A high GI and GL-Diet increase the chance of getting certain chronic disease?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 37 prospective cohort studies until March 2007 with 40129 people with chronic illness. The study duration ranged from 4 to 20 years.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a power supply with the highest GI (58)/hoogste GL (142) compared to the lowest GI (49)/laagste GL (92), the chance of getting type 2 diabetes significantly with respectively 40% [95% CI = 1.49-1.59] and 27% [5% BI = 1.12-1.45] increased.
Significantly increased risk of 40% want blessing, with a 95% reliability can be said that a power supply with a GI number of 58 the chance of getting diabetes type 2 really increased by 40%.
The researchers found that a power supply with the highest GI (58) compared to the lowest GI (49), the chance of getting heart disease non-significant with 25% [95% CI = 1.00-1.56] increased. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that a power supply with the highest GI (58)/hoogste GL (142) compared to the lowest GI (49)/laagste GL (92), the chance of getting respiratory diseases gall bladder significantly with respectively 26% [95% CI = 1.13-1.40] and 40% [5% CI = 1.25-1.60] increased.
The researchers found that a power supply with the highest GI (58) compared to the lowest GI (49), the chance of getting breast cancer significantly with 8% [95% CI = 1.02-1.16] increased.
The researchers found that a power supply with the highest GI (58)/hoogste GL (142) compared to the lowest GI (49)/laagste GL (92), the chances of getting all diseases combined significantly with respectively 14% [95% CI = 1.09-1.19] and 9% [5% CI = 1.04-1.15] increased.
The researchers concluded that eating a diet with a GI number of 58 or GL-number of 142 the chance of getting some chronic diseases increased.

Additional information about El Mondo:
A power supply with a GL-number of 142 means that the food contains sugars 142 grams.
A low GI Diet is a diet with a GI number of 55 or below. GI stands for glycemic index. A low GI Diet is a diet with a minimum of 1.5 grams of fiber per 100 kcal.
A high GI-power supply is a power supply with a GI number of 70 or higher.
A low GL-power supply is a power supply with a GL-number of 10 or lower. GL stands for glycemic load.
A high GL-power supply is a power supply with a GL-figure of 20 or higher.
Observational studies include case-control studies and cohort studies.
