The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Glycemic index, glycemic load and glycemic response: An International Scientific Consensus Summit from the International Carbohydrate Quality Consortium (ICQC). (2015, positive): “Given essentially conclusive evidence that high GI/GL diets contribute to risk of T2DM and CVD, reduction in GI and GL should be a public health priority.”
Diabetes and Cancer (2010, neutral): “However, evidence of their associations with cancer risk is mixed (28,34,35).”
Sex and Gender Differences in Risk, Pathophysiology and Complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2016, background): “increase abdominal fat, particularly in sedentary women in contrast to sedentary men (123, 124).”
Alternative dietary indices both strongly predict risk of chronic disease. (2012, background): “and may increase risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), and other chronic diseases (32,37,38).”
Identification of a Major Genetic Determinant of Glycaemic Index in Rice (2011, background): “01GI × grams of carbohydrate consumed) were positively associated with diabetes risk (Barclay et al. 2008; Halton et al. 2008).”
