Association of Digestible Carbohydrate Intake With Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, and Body Composition

Association of Digestible Carbohydrate Intake With Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, and Body Composition: We conducted two systematic reviews to evaluate (1) the association between dietary digestible carbohydrate intake and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and (2) the association between dietary digestible carbohydrate intake and the incidence of T2D and the effect on growth, size, and body composition. These two reviews intend to inform the upcoming U.S. and Canadian government DRI guideline about dietary digestible carbohydrate intake.
