However, the effects of dietary fiber on
glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a
high dietary
intake of soluble fiber without consuming
foods or supplements fortified with fiber.1 We therefore designed the present study to determine the effects on
glycemic control and plasma lipid concentrations of increasing the
intake of dietary fiber in patients with type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption of
foods not fortified with fiber (unfortified
foods) to a level beyond that recommended by the ADA.
In applying a predefined algorithm, we identified strong evidence of a causal relationship for protective factors, including
intake of vegetables, nuts, and monounsaturated fatty acids and Mediterranean, prudent, and
high - quality dietary patterns, and harmful factors, including
intake of trans — fatty acids and
foods with a
high glycemic index or load and a western dietary pattern.
Results Strong evidence supports valid associations (4 criteria satisfied) of protective factors, including
intake of vegetables, nuts, and «Mediterranean» and
high - quality dietary patterns with CHD, and associations of harmful factors, including
intake of trans — fatty acids and
foods with a
high glycemic index or load.
