A new food for the majority of humanity, potatoes possess anticancer properties through their protease inhibitors. They are also rich in vitamins C, B6, iron and have nearly double the magnesium of bananas.
Caution: Cooked potatoes have generally a high glycemic index and are not advisable for diabetics. To get the benefits and reduce the problem, eat cold potato salad, when the starch had been subject to retrogradation. Do not load with mayonnaise.
