WHITE VS. SWEET POTATOES:
WHICH ARE REALLY HEALTHIER?

Think sy ta thier than white potatoes? Or that you should avoid both because
ofc abs? H feos hese tubers compare — and why they both deserve a place in your diet

THE BASICS

Potatoes and sweet potatoes share a name, but botanically they're unrelated

PLANT PLANT

FAMILY RELATIVES BIODIVERSITY EDIBILITY

POTATOES Tomatoes, peppers, 4.000 Leaves and stems (and
eggoiant, deadly | yoo lc potatoes that have tumed
nightshade green) produce solanine,
which is poisonous.

POTATOES

[HONORA BATATAS)

Momng glories and 5,000 Leaves are edible
other vines, trees, known varieties and nutritious.
shrubs, and herbs

(note: not yams!)

CONVOLVULACEAE

CLAIM: SWEET POTATOES
ARE THE ‘SUPERFOOD’

If all you want is Vitamin A, then sure, sweet potatoes win
But when you pit them against white potatoes for overall nutritional value, it's a virtual tie

CLAIM: AVOID POTATOES
BECAUSE OF GLYCEMIC LOAD

Worried potatoes will make your blood sugar and appetite spike?
Here's what the evidence says.

BOTH POTATOES AND SWEET POTATOES FALL IN THE MIDDLE
TO HIGH RANGE ON THE GLYCEMIC LOAD (GL) SCALE.

J ¢ @0N® os =

BUT OVERALL, THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE DOESN'T
SUPPORT GLYCEMIC LOAD STRONGLY AFFECTING:

* Appetite « Inflammation
* Body weight * Blood glucose control
Total carbohydrate and calorie intake has a much

bigger impact on these health markers

PLUS, GL IS GENERALLY IRRELEVANT TO HEALTH AND LEANNESS BECAUSE

CLAIM: AVOID ALL TUBERS
BECAUSE OF CARBS

Think the carbs will cause weight gan? Actually, the carbs in potatoes and sweet
potatoes are mostly starch and fiber, which help you stay lean and healthy

Resistant starch and fiber
