Question:

Can someone tell me about potatoes?

are they fattening or just cause weight gain


Answers:

On the glycemic index chart a small white potato has the same effect on your blood sugar (glucose) as a slice of pound cake. Yes there are some nutrients, but since you generally don't eat the skin of it you don't get a lot.

Try sweet potatoes instead. More nutrients and healthier for you. Read more here: http://www.whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname...
