Abstract | BACKGROUND: Reduction of dietary glycemic response has been proposed as a means of reducing the risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease. The impact of glycemic response on markers of health remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the evidence relating the glycemic impact of foods to measures relevant for health maintenance and management of disease. DESIGN: This was a systematic review and synthesis of interventional evidence from literature reported on glycemic index and markers of health through the use of meta-analyses and meta-regression models. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of reduced glycemic response diets are followed by favorable changes in the health markers examined. The case for the use of such diets looks compelling. Unavailable carbohydrate intake is equally important.
