The paper by Hodge et al. (1) published in the November 2004 issue of Diabetes Care aptly contrasts the potential benefits of moderately high-carbohydrate diets with a low glycemic index (GI) versus diets that have a lower glycemic load (GL) by virtue of a low carbohydrate content. In their prospective analysis of a cohort of 36,000 adults followed for 4 years, Hodge et. al found that higher-carbohydrate diets were associated with a lower risk of development of type 2 diabetes. However, the type of carbohydrate was equally important: low-GI carbohydrates reduced the risk, while high-GI carbohydrates increased the risk. Thus, low GI and low GL are not equivalent and produce different clinical . . . [Full Text of this Article]
