“…Regarding the recommendations that both GI and GL should be low, (Salehi et al, 2012;Egan et al, 2011), dietary restriction of coconut water and custard apple intake is advised. However, with regard to cashew (Figure 4), although its GI and GL are low, the initial glycemic peak triggered can be harmful, especially for people who have high fasting glucose level, such as obese patients who have metabolic syndrome and diabetic patients (Brand-Miller et al, 2009a). Gibson et al (2011) also found variations in the glucose level peaks of foods belonging to the same food group.…”

The objective was to determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of tropical fruits and the potential risk for chronic diseases. Nine fruits were investigated: coconut water (for the purpose of this study, coconut water was classified as a "fruit"), guava, tamarind, passion fruit, custard apple, hog plum, cashew, sapodilla, and soursop. The GI and GL were determined according to the Food and Agriculture Drganization protocol. The GL was calculated taking into consideration intake recommendation guidelines; 77.8% of the fruits had low GI although significant oscillations were observed in some graphs, which may indicate potential risks of disease. Coconut water and custard apple had a moderate GI, and all fruits had low GL. The fruits evaluated are healthy and can be consumed following the daily recommended amount. However, caution is recommended with fruits causing early glycemic peak and the fruits with moderated GI (coconut water and custard apple).

“…Protein and carbohydrate quality may also be relevant in assessing the role of macronutrient distribution for health, as suggested by the results of the present, and previous, studies. 12,15,27 The intake levels of carbohydrates and protein in the VIP cohort were by no means extreme, which may have prevented the detection of possible effects of stricter carbohydrate restriction. However, compared with other cohort studies, intakes of carbohydrates and protein in the VIP cohort, calculated as percent of total energy intake, were intermediate.…”

Low-carbohydrate, high-protein score and mortality in a northern Swedish population-based cohort

et al. 2012

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Long-term effects of carbohydrate-restricted diets are unclear. We examined a low-carbohydrate, high-protein (LCHP) score in relation to mortality. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This is a population-based cohort study on adults in the northern Swedish county of Västerbotten. In 37 639 men (1460 deaths) and 39 680 women (923 deaths) from the population-based Västerbotten Intervention Program, deciles of energy-adjusted carbohydrate (descending) and protein (ascending) intake were added to create an LCHP score (2 --20 points). Sex-specific hazard ratios (HR) were calculated by Cox regression. RESULTS: Median intakes of carbohydrates, protein and fat in subjects with LCHP scores 2 --20 ranged from 61.0% to 38.6%, 11.3% to 19.2% and 26.6% to 41.5% of total energy intake, respectively. High LCHP score (14 --20 points) did not predict all-cause mortality compared with low LCHP score (2 --8 points), after accounting for saturated fat intake and established risk factors (men: HR for high vs low 1.03 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88 --1.20), P for continuous ¼ 0.721; women: HR for high vs low 1.10 (95% CI 0.91 --1.32), P for continuous ¼ 0.229). For cancer and cardiovascular disease, no clear associations were found. Carbohydrate intake was inversely associated with all-cause mortality, though only statistically significant in women (multivariate HR per decile increase 0.95 (95% CI 0.91 --0.99), P ¼ 0.010). CONCLUSION: Our results do not support a clear, general association between LCHP score and mortality. Studies encompassing a wider range of macronutrient consumption may be necessary to detect such an association.

RESuMoO índice glicêmico (IG) é um indicador funcional que pode ser usado para classificar carboidratos de acordo com sua resposta glicêmica e insulinêmica em relação a um alimento conhecido, pão branco ou glicose. No ramo da nutrição esportiva, este é considerado principalmente para compor a refeição pré--exercício, pois afeta diretamente a resposta glicêmica pós-prandial, e dependendo de alguns fatores, tais como o tempo prévio de ingestão, existe o risco de hipoglicemia de rebote durante o exercício. Elucidar, atraves de uma revisão sistematizada, qual estratégia nutricional é a mais adequada empregando refeições de diferentes índices glicêmicos pré-exercício. Foi consultada a base de dados PubMed, utilizando os descritores: aerobic exercise, glicemic index e glycemia, de forma combinada. Foram adotados como critérios de inclusão artigos originais, publicados em inglês nos últimos cinco anos e realizados com humanos, e como critério de exclusão, amostra não saudável e exercício sem predominância aeróbica. Foram selecionados 11 artigos, os quais variavam quanto ao gênero da amostra e seu condicionamento, o tipo de exercício selecionado, assim como sua duração e intensidade, o valor de IG adotado, e o tempo prévio de ingestão alimentar, de 15 minutos a três horas. Pela recorrência de alguns resultados, alimentos de baixo índice glicêmico causam menor alteração glicêmica pós-prandial, o que pode acarretar em um comportamento mais estável ao longo do exercício, tornando-se uma estratégia nutricional mais conservadora para a população em geral.Palavras-chave: exercício físico, nutrição, hidratação, glicemia.
