glycemic index and cancer risk
The glycemic index refers to a scale that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels after consumption. It is an indicator of how rapidly a food is digested and absorbed in the body. Cancer risk, on the other hand, pertains to the likelihood or probability of developing cancer. The relationship between glycemic index and cancer risk refers to the potential impact that high-glycemic foods, which cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, may have on increasing the risk of developing certain types of cancer.
