Scientists said that while carbohydrates consumption normally increases blood sugar levels, eating highly refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, rice and junk food, triggers a hormonal response that affects the glycemic index.

The underlying observation may have some useful application, but this report is argle-bargle. "Glycemic index" is a characteristic of foods, not people.

IOW, avoid bread, rice, potatoes, sugar, & pasta. This is known as the Al Sharpton diet, because its motto is:

“WHITE IS NOT RIGHT!!!”
