Just a couple of servings of potato a day can reduce blood pressure ∈ obese or overweight people with high blood pressure, calling into question the lowly spud's current reputation as a fattening, unhealthy food, according to new research presented at a conference ∈Denver, Colorado, USA, on Wednesday.
“The potato, more than perhaps any other vegetable, has an undeserved, bad reputation that has led many healthconscious people to ban them from their diet, “said Dr Joe Vinson, a professor ∈ the Department of Chemistry at the University of Scranton ∈Pennsylvania, who led the research that was presented at the 242nd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
But before you go out and order French fries, the preferred way of eating this most consumed of all vegetables ∈ the US, consider this: the research was done with purple potatoes cooked ∈ the microwave oven, with no oil or fat whatsoever.
