Diets high in glycaemic index (GI) or glycaemic load (GL) have been hypothesised to
increase the risks of certain cancers by increasing blood glucose or insulin concentrations.
We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies to evaluate the
association between GI or GL and diabetes-related cancers (DRC), including bladder,
breast, colon–rectum, endometrium, liver and pancreas, which are associated with an
increased risk for diabetes, and prostate cancer, which is associated with a reduced risk for …
