Joint FAO/WHO Scientific Update on Carbohydrates in Human Nutrition
Table of Contents
"As part of the normative work and the complimentary mandates of the two organizations to periodically update nutrient requirements and regularly develop related global guidelines, FAO and WHO have been exploring the possibility of holding an expert consultation to update the work of the 1997 Expert Consultation. Considered necessary given the developments and other relevant recommendations made during the intervening period, including those from the 2002 Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation (WHO, 2003), FAO and WHO agreed in 2005 to undertake a scientific update on some of the key issues related to carbohydrates in human nutrition. The key issues identified included terminology and classification, measurement, physiology, carbohydrates and diseases (that is, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer), and glycaemic index and glycaemic load. This update of existing knowledge and evidence relating to the current recommendations was viewed as essential in the process leading up to a forthcoming Expert Consultation on Carbohydrates in Human Nutrition."
