The Claim
High dietary glycemic load is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, and this association may be stronger among overweight and obese individuals, although the evidence supporting this modification is limited.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who eat a lot of foods that spike their blood sugar quickly might be more likely to get heart disease, especially if they’re overweight or obese—but we don’t have strong proof yet.
