Frequent consumption of potatoes, Diabetes Lurking?


London - Consumption of potatoes as much as seven or more servings per week increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 33 percent. In fact, consumption of 2-4 servings per week has also been able to raise the same risks to seven percent as revealed by recent studies.

"Potatoes contain starch in large and little fiber, vitamins, minerals and polyphenols," said study author Isao Muraki of Osaka
Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease.


Low carbohydrate quality is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes Especially when served hot potato, the starch is more easily digested shingga improve blood sugar levels more quickly as told Muraki as quoted page of the Daily Mail,

Muraki also reminded to people with type 2 diabetes to reduce the consumption of potatoes as a precaution.

"In addition, the consumption of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and wheat can be selected to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes," said Muraki.

However, he stressed that the study is looking at the data in Europe so that it could be a different outcome for the ethnic and other demographic.
