Scientists from Australia refuted the stereotype about the harm of potatoes to human health

 Potatoes have a bad reputation as a junk food, but in fact they are not even harmful to health. Everything depends on how you prepare it and what you eat it.

Potatoes do not increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and, in principle, do not harm our body, contrary to popular opinion.

Potatoes are one of the most common food products around the world and one of the main culinary dishes. It ranks fourth in the world in terms of production and consumption after corn, wheat and rice. Despite this, potatoes have gained a bad reputation as an unhealthy product. Why?

First, potatoes contain starch, which means they are high in carbohydrates. Second, in previous medical studies, it was often associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes. This has led to the fact that potatoes are often avoided in a healthy diet, giving more attention to other vegetables.
