Potatoes turned out to be not so harmful as many people think.

In the process of conducting the study, scientists collected data on the health of approximately 2,500 people, whose age ranged from 30 to 50 years. The results of this study were published not so long ago, but scientists have been collecting data for 50 years. The results of healthy adults showed that eating adequate amounts of potatoes did not affect their risks of health problems, including hypertension and dyslipidemia. Also, those participants who ate fried potatoes had a reduced risk of ill health if they excluded red meat from their diet and exercised.
