Include potatoes and other white vegetables in your diet to reduce the risk of developing stomach cancer, suggest scientists at Zhejiang University in China.
A new study showed that individuals with a higher consumption of potatoes - baked, boiled, mashed, or french fried - had a greater risk of type 2 diabetes.
Potatoes are rich in potassium, which lowers blood pressure. But, high potato consumption is linked to an increased risk of developing hypertension in adults.
Potatoes, when carefully prepared and portioned offer important nutrients and can be part of a healthy diet.
