While specific dietary recommendations cannot be made on the basis of these results, the authors suggest limiting foods and beverages with high GI, such as white bread or bagels, corn flakes and puffed rice, for a more balanced diet and to lower the risk for lung cancer and chronic diseases. Examples of low GI foods include whole-wheat or pumpernickel bread, rolled or steel-cut oatmeal and pasta.
雖然這個研究的結果無法具體推薦特別的食品，但是作者建議控製高升糖指數的食品和飲料，例如白麵包、貝果麵包、速食玉米片和膨化大米等，而代之以更平衡的飲食來降低肺癌和其他慢性病的風險。低升糖指數的食品的例子包括全麥或裸麥粗麵包，壓榨和切片燕麥以及意大利麵條等。
