Much has been written on the internet about carbohydrates and type 2 diabetes. Time once again to bust myths in the health and nutrition world!<\/p>\n


\nIf you have searched the internet, you will have read some video or article by various self-proclaimed health and nutrition experts about carbohydrate consumption and whether it can contribute to or lead to type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

But if you want the truth, you're in the right place, because here we present scientific research and evidence without mincing words.<\/p>\n

Type 2 diabetes is a severe non-communicable chronic disease described by reduced insulin action or secretion or reduced response of the body's cells to insulin, followed by the inability of the endocrine pancreas to compensate for this impaired response.<\/p>\n

So far, they had been held three meta-analyses<\/a> in order to study the correlation between carbohydrates<\/a> and the risk of type 2 diabetes<\/a>, but the results were inconsistent.<\/p>\n

A publication from the PURE study<\/a> in 21 countries around the world had found higher rice consumption to be associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, with the strongest association in South Asia, while there was no statistical association in other regions of the world.<\/p>\n

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis<\/a>, sought to clarify the association between carbohydrate intake and type 2 diabetes risk by examining the possible variation in effects by geographical location.<\/p>\n

So let's start by looking at the findings of this meta-analysis.<\/p>\n

The limitation of dose-response analyses to studies exclusively from Western countries suggests that the risk of type 2 diabetes has no appreciable changes with an increase in carbohydrate intake from 37 to 60% of total calories, and if present, this increase confers modest protective characteristics.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, limiting analyses in Asian studies found that the risk of type 2 diabetes does not change markedly with increasing carbohydrate intake until about 70% of total calories, followed by a steep and linear increase in risk.<\/p>\n

Although we could put an epilogue here, there are details that need to be clarified.<\/p>\n

What could explain such a large increase in risk when carbohydrate intake exceeds 70% of total calories?<\/p>\n
