Other parameters under investigation were not affected by either low or high glycaemic indices .
The present systematic review and meta- analysis provides evidence of a beneficial effect of a low glycaemic index/load diet in children and adolescents being either overweight or obese .
The objective of the present systematic review and meta- analysis was to synthesize the available literature data investigating the effects of low glycaemic index/low glycamic load dietary regimens on anthropometric parameters , blood lipid profiles , and indicators of glucose metabolism in children and adolescents .
Dietary fiber, glycemic load, and risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in women.
OBJECTIVE To examine prospect ively the relationship between glycemic diets , low fiber intake , and risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus .  DESIGN Cohort study . SETTING In 1986 , a total of 65173 US women 40 to 65 years of age and free from diagnosed cardiovascular disease , cancer , and diabetes completed a detailed dietary question naire from which we calculated usual intake of total and specific sources of dietary fiber , dietary glycemic index , and glycemic load . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus . RESULTS During 6 years of follow-up , 915 incident cases of diabetes  were documented . The dietary glycemic index was positively associated with risk of diabetes after adjustment for age , body mass index , smoking , physical activity , family history of diabetes , alcohol and cereal fiber intake , and total energy intake . Comparing the highest with the lowest quintile , the relative risk ( RR ) of diabetes was 1.37 ( 95 % confidence interval [ CI ] , 1.09 - 1.71 , P trend=.005 ) . The glycemic load ( an indicator of a global dietary insulin dem and ) was also positively associated with diabetes ( RR= 1.47 ; 95 % CI , 1.16 - 1.86 , P trend=.003 ) . Cereal fiber intake was inversely associated with risk of diabetes when comparing the extreme quintiles ( RR=0.72 , 95 % CI , 0.58 - 0.90 , P trend=.001 ) . The combination of a high glycemic load and a low cereal fiber intake further increased the risk of diabetes ( RR=2.50 , 95 % CI , 1.14 - 5.51 ) when compared with a low glycemic load and high cereal fiber intake . CONCLUSIONS Our results support the hypothesis that diets with a high glycemic load and a low cereal fiber content increase risk of diabetes in women . Further , they suggest that grains should be consumed in a minimally refined form to reduce the incidence of diabetes
