Pleins feux sur les glucides et la nutrition

Les glucides simples et l'obésité : les faits, la fiction et l'avenir

Supplement to the International Journal of Obesity, Décembre 2006; 30:S1-S783

These proceedings are a summary of an international workshop held on Avril 5-6, 2006 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The papers presented in this journal supplement provide an interesting and authoritative perspective on a very complex and conflicting topic in nutritional science. The workshop was set up to discuss three major topic areas which included:

  1. the roles and mechanisms for the contribution of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat) on energy intake, body weight regulation and obesity;
  2. review of the evidence regarding the relative impact of sugars-sweetened beverages and solid foods on energy intake and the development of obesity; and
  3. the complex assessment of the potential role of glycemic index and low GI foods in body weight control and the prevention and management of obesity and other chronic diseases.

For each major topic in this supplement, speakers were invited to prepare a paper in advance of the workshop. These papers were sent to a first discussant to write a critical review. During the workshop, the speaker presented their paper, followed by a reply by the first discussant and a plenary discussion with all experts. After the workshop authors were able to update their papers based on the discussions.
