The Claim
High dietary glycemic load is associated with a 69% higher risk of coronary heart disease in women, but not in men, based on pooled data from eight prospective cohort studies involving 220,050 participants.
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.
Women who eat a lot of foods that spike blood sugar quickly may be 69% more likely to develop heart disease, but this doesn’t seem to be true for men.
