Interesting Bits from Research
“Potato consumption was not associated with risk of mortality caused by cancer (HR C4 vs C1 = 1.04, 95%CI = 0.97, 1.11), heart disease (HR C4 vs C1 = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.93, 1.09), respiratory disease (HR C4 vs C1 = 1.16, 95%CI = 0.99, 1.37), or diabetes (HR C4 vs C1 = 0.91, 95%CI = 0.71, 1.19). We tested for an association with different preparation methods and found limited evidence for differences by preparation method. The only statistically significant association was that for French fry consumption with cancer-related mortality (HR C4 vs C1 = 1.27, 95%CI = 1.02, 1.59), a finding for which uncontrolled confounding could not be ruled out.”
“Overall, potato consumption was associated with a host of other variables, many of which may confer higher risk of death. Specifically, individuals with higher potato consumption were more likely to be current smokers, to be non-Hispanic whites, to drink more alcohol, to have a history of diabetes, and to report poor or fair health. They were also less likely to have attended college or to use vitamin-mineral supplements. Potato consumption was associated with higher energy (calorie) intake; higher red meat, white meat, whole grain, fruit and vegetable intake; and a higher BMI. The baseline characteristics of participants by different types of potato preparation categories are provided in S1 Table.”
“In 100g of steamed potatoes, you’ll find just 100 calories, no fat, no sodium, no cholesterol, and no gluten. Instead, you’ll get nearly half your daily dose of vitamin C, more potassium than in a banana, and plenty of vitamin B6, fibre, magnesium, and antioxidants.”
“Yes, there is starch, which can increase insulin sensitivity—but it can also improve blood sugar control, digestive health, nutrient absorption and satiety (fullness), help curb inflammation in the body, boost immunity, and improve blood circulation.”
