Metabolic adaptation
Higher intake of predominantly high glycaemic carbohydrates was associated with higher CHD risk (HRQ4 v. Q1 2·10, 95 % CI 1·22, 3·63, Ptrend = 0·003).
Practitioners should be cautious about recommending high glycaemic carbohydrate diets due to potential CHD risk.
GoodSupportsmedium confidence
For carbohydrates, the opposite pattern was observed (HRQ4 v. Q1 2·10, 95 % CI 1·22, 3·63, Ptrend = 0·003).
Why this rating
Based on the prospective cohort study design.
