Some fruits are high in sugar and peanuts are good for you, but are very starchy.<br /><br />I do not understand why the potatoe is getting a "bad rap"?!?!?<br /><br />I believe if it makes you happy and feel good--eat it, but only in moderation!Tracy Golightly-Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409307445856582227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-81954199398625206062011-06-28T17:33:28.996+02:002011-06-28T17:33:28.996+02:00Julie, I agree.

Part of our limiting has been due to other options too...(aside, I found an awesome grain mix that's perled couscous, split garbanzos, red quinoa, and pilaf~ yum!. I think sometimes the information out there &/or new findings only muddle good common sense. <br /><br />Jude, I agree about the prep versus the potatoes themselves, except when it comes to the glycemic index, where they score pretty high. But I think that that index has become mroe necessary as the overall result of obesity,processed foods and large amounts of sugar that people consume leading to more and more diabetes. Then some of the good startches exacerbate the issues. <br /><br />I'll still prepare my potatoes, just think it is so intersting how information is constantly evolving and giving us new things to think about. :)rayfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738836663001170089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-42208899410844173092011-06-28T15:10:33.005+02:002011-06-28T15:10:33.005+02:00I think it is about how they are cooked not about ...I think it is about how they are cooked not about potatoes themselves.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615312735934679102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-15149705489241710382011-06-28T08:09:07.020+02:002011-06-28T08:09:07.020+02:00i'm not gonna get too worked up about potatoes...i'm not gonna get too worked up about potatoes. they grow so well in our sandy soul and really, what's better than a mess of freshly-boiled new potatoes? that said, we have also limited our potato consumption - not so much on purpose, but more by accident as other, more exciting starches come into our diet to replace them - quinoa, couscous, brown rice, wild rice.<br /><br />i think if you don't eat them daily and you only seldom eat fries (homemade only, never from a fast food joint), you'll be fine. <br /><br />but it was disturbing that they were on that list 3x (which may only be because those releasing the study didn't realize that french fries and chips were also potatoes).julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.com
