Fans of carbohydrate laden foods may have reason to rejoice once again. Researchers have recently discovered that a diet rich in carbohydrates with a low glycemic index may actually reduce your risks of developing some cancers and heart disease, as opposed to a traditional low-fat diet. Foods with a low glycemic index are processed more slowly by your body and produce blood sugar much more slowly than high glycemic foods.

Low glycemic carbohydrates actually help regulate your blood sugar, instead of throwing it off by having your body produce too much insulin as your food is absorbed through the small intestine.
