[HTML][HTML] Impact of dietary fiber consumption on insulin resistance and the prevention of type 2 diabetes
MO Weickert, AFH Pfeiffer - The Journal of nutrition, 2018 - Elsevier
Large prospective cohort studies consistently show associations of a high dietary fiber intake
(> 25 g/d in women and> 38 g/d in men) with a 20–30% reduced risk of developing type 2
diabetes (T2D), after correction for confounders. It is less well recognized that these effects
appear to be mainly driven by high intakes of whole grains and insoluble cereal fibers,
which typically are nonviscous and do not relevantly influence postprandial glucose
responses [ie, glycemic index (GI)] or are strongly fermented by the gut microbiota in the …
