New Study On Potatoes + Unexpected Information!

Scientists have just uncovered some interesting findings when it comes to potatoes. Now I’ve been a little cautious about white potatoes since hearing previous information from Dr Greger! However in a recent interview he shared some unexpected information about white potatoes! If prepared correctly perhaps white potatoes are beneficial!

I eat white potatoes pretty much every day. I steam them in my instant pot and then refrigerate them, slice them, and cook them over medium high heat. I do use a small amount of olive oil or a spray of avocado oil. I’ve been telling my friends for years that white potatoes are nutritional and healthy. I am a vegan and I am not overweight. I can’t imagine life without potatoes.

The whole premise here is wrong. There's nothing wrong with a spike in insulin after healthy carbs as long as it soon returns to normal.

I am seventy year old powerlifter, have used potatoes as my main source of carbohydrate all my lifting career still going strong.

Thanks for another informative video. The humble spud shouldn’t be taken for granted. We had potatoes with almost every meal growing up and I still love a potatoe.

I remember years ago my dad was overweight and went on a diet that included boiled potatoes and he definitely lost weight! Can't remember how much but it made a huge difference!

Dr. Greger will always admit when he finds new data. That’s why I love him.

Last year, in Dr Greger's webinar on potatoes (and soon after in a short video on his website) he pointed out that cooking and then refrigerating potatoes overnight lowered their glycemic index by increasing their resistant starch.

Dr. McDougall is proven right yet again. Thank you for this video so people will stop fearing the potato.

Spuds are actually very good for blood pressure, being high in pottassium, which helps to flush out sodium, the trigger for high blood pressure, and plaque in arteries.

My nan had them all the time . She died at the very early age of 98. With no health problems.

Potatoes are only an issue if one eats lots of butter/marg/oil/cheese/fat with them, or deep fried like chips, which nearly doubles the calories.

[efethecaptain]

It's suggested for the rice consumption as well, refrigerating 12-24hours after cooking.

Thanks PBL! I like to microwave a bunch of potatoes ( both sweet and Russet), keep them in the fridge for meals or even a quick snack, during the cool months. Sometimes I warm them, but if I'm in a rush just eat 'em straight from the fridge. They're a savory alternative to a piece of fruit, and frankly more filling which is what I seem to crave in the cool seasons.

My understanding is that the cooling creates something called "resistant starch" that serves as s prebiotic fiber.

This video is a welcomed counterpoint to the earlier Dr Greger caveat!🌱

Thank you for your intellectual honesty. We know you've had some differences with Dr McDougall about potatoes. Apparently the trick is cold and/or some vinegar at the same meal. We knew there had to be a solution because nature is smarter than us all and would not make us diabetics by eating naturally, lol.

If I only had to eat 1 food forever it would be potatoes

[MrAllan]

I'm a meat and potatoes man, and never believed the negative info about potatoes because we had potatoes at most meals and we're all healthy with no overweight issues.

[rlm]

I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I got so over weight, about 81kg, i then included potatoes in my meals within a space of a week i lost 4 kg and got back to my usual shape without any effort whatsoever .

I grew up in Idaho where potatoes were a staple. To this day I crave potatoes if not eaten a lot.

I have lost a lot of weight this year on a diet centred on enough legumes (beans and lentils) eaten with potatoes. I also add a touch of fat and lemon juice. The combination brings down the total glycaemic load of the meal, so there are no issues with blood sugar spikes. Potatoes are definitely filling, and a very cheap way of getting nutrition - they contain just about every nutrient.

I also find that the more fruit and vegs I include, the less hunger pangs - in fact, I often eat under my target daily calories because I simply don't feel hungry. I just make sure the food is mostly unprocessed or minimally processed. Bread is too high in salt, hence switching over to potatoes (and sweet potatoes) as the key staple. Using this system, I have been able to stick almost a year to a diet, and the weight has just kept dropping off.

Plant foods are the way to go, especially for people who need to lose a lot of weight, and do so safely. Simply cutting down portions while continuing to eat the old crappy diet full of processed foods is not going to work. The usual western diet is already deficient in nutrients, and simply reducing the amount takes things into the malnutrition zone. Whole plant foods will provide more than enough nutrients even when calories are reduced.
