A study from the University of Sydney in Australia suggests that having a breakfast of white bread and sugar-rich cereals may make a person susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
University scientists evaluated 37 diet studies that involved nearly two million people across the world, and analysed the effect of eating foods with high glycemic index (GI), a measure of how different foods affect blood glucose levels, Health News reported.
The researchers also said that a high GI diet was also seemed to be linked to gall stones and some types of cancer. The key message from this study is that the GI of your diet is a powerful predictor of disease risk, researcher said.
He said that the impact of high GI foods on the likelihood of having diabetes was "not surprising" because such foods inflate blood glucose and insulin levels. You may literally 'wear out' your pancreas over time and eventually it may lead to type 2 diabetes in older age.
