食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據外媒報道，一項最新研究發(fā)現，包括白面包、米飯等高碳水化合物可能會(huì )增加肺癌風(fēng)險。這些食物的血糖生成指數（GI）較高。

    血糖生成指數（GI）是衡量碳水化合物質(zhì)量的指標，依據飯后血糖升高水平來(lái)定義。目前理論是高GI飲食會(huì )提高血糖和胰島素濃度，而體內稱(chēng)為類(lèi)胰島素生長(cháng)因子（IGF）的荷爾蒙也隨著(zhù)升高。

    研究人員梅爾科尼恩（Stephanie Melkonian）稱(chēng)，與每日飲食最低GI的人相較，每日最高GI飲食的人，患肺癌風(fēng)險增加49%。

    Many studies suggest carbohydrates are bad for your waistline.

    But a new study has warned they may also be bad for your lungs.

    Specifically, foods with a high glycemic index - such as white bread or bagels, corn flakes and puffed rice - may increase the risk of lung cancer, scientists say.

    And non-smokers, who account for 12 per cent of those killed by the disease, appear to be particularly at risk.
