To systematically tabulate published and unpublished sources of reliable glycemic index (GI) values.A literature search identified 205 articles between 1981 2007. Unpublished data were also included where the quality could be verified. The separated into two lists: first representing more precise derived from testing healthy subjects second primarily individuals with impaired glucose metabolism.The tables, which are available in online-only appendix, list GI over 2,480 individual food items....

Background: Despite the popularity of low-glycemic index (GI) and high-protein diets, to our knowledge no randomized, controlled trials have systematically compared their relative effects on weight loss cardiovascular risk.Methods: A total 129 overweight or obese young adults (body mass index, Ն25 [calculated as in kilograms divided by square height meters]) were assigned 1 4 reduced-fat, high-fiber diets for 12 weeks.Diets 2 high carbohydrate (55% energy intake), with low GIs, respectively;...

Dietary fibre is a generic term describing non-absorbed plant carbohydrates and small amounts of associated non-carbohydrate components. The main contributors to the diet are cell walls tissues, which supramolecular polymer networks containing variable proportions cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectic substances, components, such as lignin. Other intracellular storage oligosaccharides, fructans. A distinction needs be made between intrinsic sources dietary purified forms fibre, given that...

Kombucha is a complex probiotic beverage made from fermented tea, yet despite extensive historical, anecdotal, and in-vivo evidence for its health benefits, no controlled trials have been published on effect humans.We conducted randomised placebo-controlled, cross-over study that examined the Glycemic Index (GI) Insulin (II) responses after standardised high-GI meal consumed with three different test beverages (soda water, diet lemonade soft drink an unpasteurised kombucha) in 11 healthy...

Acne vulgaris may be improved by dietary factors that increase insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized a low-glycemic index diet would improve facial acne severity and Fifty-eight adolescent males (mean age ± standard deviation 16.5 1.0 y body mass 23.1 3.5 kg/m2) were alternately allocated to high or low glycemic diets. Severity of inflammatory lesions on the face, sensitivity (homeostasis modeling assessment resistance), androgens insulin-like growth factor-1 its binding proteins assessed at...

Cereal products exhibit a wide range of glycaemic indexes (GI), but the interaction their different nutrients and starch digestibility on blood glucose response is not well known. The objective this analysis was to evaluate how cereal product characteristics can contribute GI insulinaemic index parameters describing or responses (incremental AUC, maximum concentration Δ peak ). Moreover, interactions between were assessed for first time. Relationships analysed by partial least square...

Abscisic acid (ABA) can improve glucose homeostasis and reduce inflammation in mammals by activating lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2). This study examined the effects of two fig fruit extracts (FFEs), each administered at different ABA doses, on glycemic index (GI) insulinemic (II) to a standard drink. In randomized, double-blind crossover study, 10 healthy adults consumed 4 test beverages containing FFE with postprandial insulin assessed regular intervals over h determine GI II...

An official method for determining food glycemic index (GI) was published by the Organization International Standardization (ISO) in 2010, but its performance has not been assessed. Therefore, we aimed to determine intra- and inter-laboratory variation of GI values measured using 2010 ISO method. Three laboratories (Australia, Canada France) determined insulinemic-index (II) six foods groups 13–15 participants Standard Deviations (SDs) were calculated. Overall mean GIs varied from 47 86 (p...

Viscous fibre in food has established health benefits, but few functional preparations are both effective and palatable. Our objective was to determine the most dose, formulation timing of consumption a novel supplement (PolyGlycopleX (PGX)) reducing postprandial glycaemia. Three trials were undertaken, each with 10 subjects (8M 8F; age 24.4±2.6 years). Granular tested at four doses (0, 2.5, 5.0 7.5 g) breakfast (study 1). capsule forms given single dose (5 g for granules 4.5 capsules) −60,...

The development of lower-glycaemic index (GI) foods requires simple, palatable and healthy strategies. objective the present study was to determine most effective dose a novel viscous fibre supplement (PGX ® ) be added starchy reduce their GI. Healthy subjects ( n 10) consumed glucose sugar (50 g in water × 3) six with range GI values (52–72) along 0 (inert fibre), 2·5 or 5 granular PGX dissolved 250 ml water. testing according ISO Standard 26 642-2010 used reduction significantly reduced...
