A controlled feeding study concluded that diets with low glycemic index (GI) of dietary carbohydrate did not result in improvements in insulin sensitivity, lipid levels, or systolic blood pressure in overweight adults. The 5 week randomized crossover-controlled feeding trial included 163 overweight adults (systolic blood pressure, 120-159 mm Hg) between April 1, 2008 and December 22, 2010 in the US. The participants were given 4 complete diets: (1) A high-GI (65% on the glucose scale), high-carbohydrate diet (58% energy); (2) a low–GI (40%), high-carbohydrate diet; (3) a high–GI, low-carbohydrate diet (40% energy); and (4) a low-GI, low-carbohydrate diet. Each diet was based on a healthful DASH-type diet. The 5 primary outcomes were insulin sensitivity, determined from the areas under the curves of glucose and insulin levels during an oral glucose tolerance test; levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides; and systolic blood pressure. At high dietary carbohydrate content, the low– compared with high–GI level decreased insulin sensitivity; increased LDL cholesterol; and did not affect levels of HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood pressure. At low carbohydrate content, the low– compared with high–GI level did not affect the outcomes except for decreasing triglycerides. In the primary diet contrast, the low–GI, low-carbohydrate diet, compared with the high–GI, high-carbohydrate diet, did not affect insulin sensitivity, systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, or HDL cholesterol but did lower triglycerides. The findings suggest that GI or load of carbohydrates is less relevant than an emphasis on the overall dietary pattern. The GI is quantified according to the amount 50 grams of its carbohydrate compared with 50 grams of glucose increased blood glucose over the course of 2 hours. Two previously reported meta-analyses showed benefits for a low GI diet in people with type 2 diabetes. The DASH diet and Mediterranean-style diet have been identified as heart healthy. Both diets are plant focused, with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts and the DASH diet also includes low-fat and nonfat diary, lean meats, fish and poultry.
