Having a breakfast of white bread may make a person susceptible to diseases

Astudy from the University of Sydney in Australia suggests that having a breakfast of white bread and sugar-rich cereals may make a person susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
University s c i e n t i s t s evaluated 37 diet studies that involved nearly two million people across the world, and analysed the effect of eating foods with high glycemic index (GI), a measure of how different foods affect blood glucose levels.
Their study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggested that a high GI diet increased the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
The researchers also said that a high GI diet also seemed to be linked to gall stones and some types of cancer.
“The key message from this study is that the GI of your diet is a powerful predictor of disease risk,” the lead author Alan Barclay said.
He said that the impact of high GI foods on the likelihood of having diabetes was “not surp r i s i n g ” because such
foods inflate blood glucose and insulin levels.
“You may literally ‘wear out’ your pancreas over time and eventually it may lead to type 2 diabetes in older age,”Barclay said.
The researcher said what was more surprising was the finding that such diets have a “strong relationship” with cancer.

Most people may not just have white bread or sugary cereals.

If one has a mixed breakfast of fruit, cheese /Egg/ Sardins with small portion of toast ( white or brown) it should balance off.
