Resumen de Glycemic Index not Useful in Selecting Healthful Foods

Karen Rosenberg

• According to this study:

  * In people eating an overall healthful diet, selecting foods based on glycemic index may not improve cardiovascular risk factors or insulin resistance.

  * In the primary analysis, the low carbohydrate, low–glycemic index diet, compared with the high-carbohydrate, high–glycemic index diet, significantly reduced triglycerides but had no effect on insulin sensitivity, systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, or HDL cholesterol.
