The Claim
Higher dietary glycemic load is associated with a 28% increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in adults, with a linear dose-response relationship demonstrating a 5% increased risk per 50-unit increase in glycemic load, suggesting that diets high in rapidly digested carbohydrates may contribute to cardiovascular risk.
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.
Eating lots of foods that quickly turn into sugar—like white bread or sugary snacks—might raise your chance of getting heart disease, and the more of these foods you eat, the higher your risk goes.

What the research says
1 studyThis study found that eating more foods that quickly raise blood sugar (like white bread or sugary snacks) is linked to a higher chance of heart disease, and the more you eat, the higher the risk — exactly what the claim says.
