Despite being a vegetable product, potato's high glycemic index excludes it from being one of the food staples that should be included among the recommended 5 daily pieces of fruit and vegetables that people should eat. Every time we eat potatoes our blood skyrockets and, consequently, the body releases a lot of insulin in a short time, stated Daniel Ursua, a dietitian-nutritionist. If these peaks occur very often, it can cause resistance to insulin and degenerate into type 2 diabetes, he added.
