New Study On Potatoes + Unexpected Information!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!🌱

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

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.

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.

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

Interesting and informative video Plant based science London. I love potatoes and I pressure cook them in my Instant Pot for 35-40 minutes and they cook perfectly. I haven't tried steaming them yet but I will do in the IP because it's also a multi cooker. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Plant based science London.

I'm 74 and used to love potatoes, but since they have been gmo'd in the U.S,A,, they have not tasted the same to me, I rarely eat them anymore,

i take a couple handfuls of shredded potatoes and top them on veggies when stir frying them and i have lost 60 lbs over the past 9 months! so you can have your potatoes and eat them too! i also added eggs back into my diet !!

I had to google "cooked pulses"!!!! I thought a pulse was what you counted on your wrist. Who knew you meant legumes? Obviously, a British term, not commonly used here in the US. All that aside, interesting video. Thank you.
