Summary: The study demonstrated that modifying the diet by incorporating innovative functional ingredients and replacing high GI Asian staples with low GI options can reduce daily glycemic load, improve glycemic control, and decrease glucose variability, serving as a viable alternative to simply reducing carbohydrate intake.

Summary: This study found that there is a positive correlation between high glycemic load, high insulin load, and high glycemic index with the odds of developing colorectal cancer. On the other hand, high carbohydrate quality index and low-carbohydrate diet score are significantly negatively associated with the odds of colorectal cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to follow a diet with high-quality carbohydrates, low glycemic index, and low glycemic load to minimize the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between carbohydrate quality index (CQI), low-carbohydrate diet score (LCDS), glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), insulin load (IL), insulin index (II) and bone mass density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. The results showed that diets with higher GI increased the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis, while LCDS and CQI decreased the risk. These findings suggest that a higher intake of fruits and vegetables, as well as various dietary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds, may be an effective way to prevent osteopenia in Iranian women.

Summary: In children with type 1 diabetes, a healthy lifestyle is crucial for glycemic control and reducing inflammatory effects. Glycemic index and load are important indicators to assess the quality of food consumed. Recent studies have shown that incorporating low-glycemic-index foods into the diet can result in better glycemic stability and reduced hyperglycemic peaks.

Summary: Low glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) diets are effective for glycemic control, especially for overweight and obese individuals. However, for individuals with normal weight, glycemic load is a better measure of carbohydrate quality.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between carbohydrate quality intake and menopausal symptoms. Results showed an inverse association between carbohydrate quality index (CQI) and total menopause rating scale (TMRSS), somatic score (SS), and psychological score (PS), indicating that higher-quality carbohydrate intake may help alleviate somatic and psychological symptoms of menopause.

Summary: This systematic review examines the association between meal glycemic index or glycemic load and sleep indicators. The findings suggest that high glycemic index meals may improve sleep onset latency in young males, while the results for other sleep quality indicators and different population groups are inconclusive. The review highlights the need for further well-designed clinical trials to provide more definitive conclusions.

Summary: The study demonstrated the health benefits of using wholemeal flour and sourdough fermentation in pasta making, with wholemeal semolina exhibiting higher starch digestibility compared to semolina. Addition of sourdough in the formulation effectively reduced rapidly digestible starch content and glycemic load of the pasta.

Summary: The study showed a significant association between high GI or GL diets and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Furthermore, the risk of rectal cancer with low GI and GL diets could be modified by the genetic variant ADIPOQ T45G in the Korean population.

Summary: Analysis of observational studies and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials does not provide strong scientific evidence supporting the idea that low-GI diets are superior to high-GI diets for weight loss and obesity prevention. The impact of dietary GI on body weight and fat storage remains inconclusive.
