OBJECTIVETo examine associations between type 2 diabetes and fiber, glycemic load (GL), dietary glycemic index (GI), and fiber-rich foods.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSThis was a prospective study of 36,787 men and women aged 4069 years without diabetes. For all self-reported cases of diabetes at 4-year follow-up, confirmation of diagnosis was sought from medical practitioners. Case subjects were those who reported diabetes at follow-up and for whom there was no evidence that they did not have type 2 diabetes. Data were analyzed with logistic regression, adjusting for country of birth, physical activity, family history of diabetes, alcohol and energy intake, education, 5-year weight change, sex, and age.
RESULTSFollow-up was completed by 31,641 (86%) participants, and 365 cases were identified. The odds ratio (OR) for the highest quartile of white bread intake compared with the lowest was 1.37 (95% CI 1.041.81; P for trend = 0.001). Intakes of carbohydrate (OR per 200 g/day 0.58, 0.360.95), sugars (OR per 100 g/day 0.61, 0.470.79), and magnesium (OR per 500 mg/day 0.62, 0.430.90) were inversely associated with incidence of diabetes, whereas intake of starch (OR per 100 g/day 1.47, 1.062.05) and dietary GI (OR per 10 units 1.32, 1.051.66) were positively associated with diabetes. These relationships were attenuated after adjustment for BMI and waist-to-hip ratio.
CONCLUSIONSReducing dietary GI while maintaining a high carbohydrate intake may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. One way to achieve this would be to substitute white bread with low-GI breads.
