Potatoes have been taking a mashing for years through what I call “bad science”.  Older studies have linked the starchy tuber to increased weight gain and Type-2 diabetes causing us to eliminate them from our diet.   Harvard University has really hit the potato hard indicating “we should view potatoes as a starch, and a fattening one at that, not as a vegetable.” It turns out, the spud is not to blame but how it’s processed and researchers failed to disclose the facts of study participants eating large amounts of French fries and potato chips.  If we all sat around eating bags of chips and going through the drive-thru requesting super-size fries, the end result would be “super-size” thighs.  Research made the mistake of tossing the potato in the general “bad carb” food bin and closing the door until recently.
