INTRODUCTION: In many countries, the prevalence of obesity and chronic diseases has been increased, which are normally associated with changes in lifestyle, that are especially characterized by high consumption of diets rich in carbohydrates of rapid absorption. Such diets classified as high glycemic index and high glycemic load can lead to hyperglycemia. OBJECTIVES: Discuss the role of the diets of high glycemic index and/or high glycemic load on the oxidative stress and inflammatory process, in order to verify their influence on those diseases. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Studies demonstrate direct relationship between hyperglycemia, inflammatory process and oxidative stress that contribute to the development of chronic diseases.
