In this study, the researchers investigate whether consumption of fruits and vegetable with a higher fiber content or lower glycemic load is more strongly associated with a healthy weight than consumption of fruits and vegetables with a lower fiber content or
higher glycemic load by analyzing data on weight and diet changes among US men and women enrolled in three large prospective cohort studies set up to examine risk factors for major chronic diseases.
Most experts agree on the fact that in diabetic patients treated with insulin, the substitution of dietary carbohydrates having a high glycemic index or
high glycemic load by complex carbohydrates with lower figures improves the blood glucose control and reduces the hypoglycemic episodes [38].

Dietary
glycemic load assessed
by food - frequency questionnaire in relation to plasma
high - density - lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting plasma triacylglycerols in post-menopausal women
This is due in part to the
high -
glycemic load of these foods — processed carbs, like pizza crust or a donut, are rapidly absorbed
by the body and quickly spike blood sugar before causing it to crash.

by average citizens as recently as 200 y ago.
As was previously mentioned, carbohydrates with a
high glycemic load encourage a proatherogenic blood profile
by elevating triacylglycerols and small - dense LDLs, while reducing HDL cholesterol.

high GI, their
glycemic load (GI x carb per serve divided
by 100) is medium.
Specifically, chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia induced
by high glycemic load carbohydrates may elicit a number of hormonal and physiologic changes that promote insulin resistance (71,77,78).

high vs. low
Glycemic Load diets concludes that a diet low in available carbohydrates (sugar and starch) «reduced the chances of developing diabetes
by 20 %.»
But that said, carbohydrates are characterized
by their
Glycemic Index (GI) and their
Glycemic Load (GL) which are measurements that reflect how
high and how rapidly a specific carb causes a rise in blood glucose when ingested and the overall impact that particular carb has on the diabetic state.
