Starches Increase Diabetes Risk Factor In Chinese And Black Women
Many foods containing starches, like breads and pastas raise the likelihood of diabetes for both Chinese and Black women, but by including some whole grain foods may reverse the risk, researchers reported on Monday. One study had more than 40,000 U.S. black women who filled out regular questionnaires every two years starting in 1995 and over 8 years, 1,938 of the women developed type 2 diabetes. The women who ate the most foods with a high glycemic index had a larger risk of coming down with diabetes.
A second study group of 64,000 Chinese women for an average of five years, interviewing them regularly about their diets and food they eat.
