CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Glycaemic index (GI) has been consistently shown to link to a wide variety of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. Recent global large systematic reviews have demonstrated the importance of Gl, beyond the benefits of dietary fibre and whole grains, helping to optimise dietary choices for better health outcomes.
GI plays a significant role in diabetes prevention and management, offering a practical approach for addressing this growing global health challenge. Furthermore, its applicability extends to the prevention of other NCDs, highlighting its wide-ranging impact.
This webinar will explore the very latest science behind the glycaemic index and its potential to improve health outcomes through informed dietary choices.
We’ll cover:
- The difference between GI and glycaemic load
- The evidence-base for glycaemic index and metabolic disease
- How dietary carbohydrate influences the risk of disease
- How to apply glycaemic index in clinical practice
- The potential application of GI in public health

About Innocent Drinks
Launched in 1999, innocent is Europe’s leading healthy drinks brand. Our purpose is to make it easier for people to live well through the deliciousness of fruit and veg – that’s why we have an ambition of getting a billion more portions of fruit and veg into people’s diets by 2030. We now sell natural, healthy drinks in over 18 countries around the world – smoothies, super smoothies, not-from-concentrate juices, a kid’s range, coconut water, innocent plus, and bubbles: our lightly sparkling fruit juices.
We’ve always been rooted in doing business the right way. We became a B Corp back in 2018 (recertified with a score of 105.2 in 2021) and consider people and the planet in everything we do. It’s the reason we started the innocent foundation and why we’re working to halve our carbon footprint per bottle by 2030. We built the blender (our all-electric, little drinks factory), enhanced our Farmer Innovation Fund for regenerative agriculture projects, and we will never stop looking for ways to make our packaging more recyclable.
