[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 628433, member: 805"] Actually, white potatoes are not really a good food. They are a perfect food raw (who eats raw potatoes!) because their sugar is encapsulated in fiber. As soon as you begin to heat a potato, the fiber case explodes and all the sugars are present without the benefit of the fiber (which slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream). A white potato, which is sugar and starch, is actually higher on the glycemic index than white sugar or fruit! It's also similar for peas and corn. If you can eat sweet potatoes instead, they are a little better option. I thought I remember you saying that Tony is borderline or pre diabetic? I know your sugar levels are good, but keep on eye on those hidden sugars in starchy foods for him. [/QUOTE]
