Diet high in poor quality carbohydrates increases risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death
A global study of people living on five continents has found a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates leads to a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death.
The higher risks of a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates, called a high glycemic diet, were similar whether people had previous cardiovascular disease or not.
The study, published in the

Diets with a high glycemic index are associated with an increased risk of both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death, according to results from the large, international Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, published in
Previous studies on the associations between glycemic index and cardiovascular disease and risk have shown mixed results and have been primarily conducted in participants from high-income Western populations. To rectify this, David J.A. Jenkins, MD, PhD, of the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and fellow PURE study investigators, conducted this study.
“We have assessed the association between the glycemic index and cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in the large, international [PURE] study involving participants with a broad range of carbohydrate intakes and diverse dietary patterns. We hypothesized that such a study would be most likely to indicate th
