I find these comments from the study authors a bit incongruent with the BHF's recommendations:<br /><br />"Women in the highest GL quartile had a significantly greater risk of CHD than did those in the lowest quartile (RR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.26-3.98)."<br /><br />"Conclusion In this Italian cohort, high dietary GL and carbohydrate intake from high-GI foods increase the overall risk of CHD in women but not men."<br /><br />BHF recommendations:<br />"The British Heart Foundation, said that for women, choosing lower GI foods could be useful in helping them to reduce their risk of coronary heart disease. She said: "They could try broadening the types of bread and cereals they eat to include granary, rye or oat; including more beans, pulses; and accompanying meals with a good helping of fruit and vegetables."<br /><br />The study authors specifically mention GL. So if we take a health conscious woman who wants to stay low fat but thinks she is OK loading up on wholegrain breads, cereals, pasta, etc, there is unlikely to be much reduction in risk overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
