7 sources for · 0 against

Multiple clinical studies, reviews, and trials demonstrate that altering dietary carbohydrate quality and quantity—such as through low-glycemic index, low-glycemic load, or low-carbohydrate interventions—significantly affects key markers of metabolic health, including glycemic control, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles.
