A study found that eating French fries regularly was linked to a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes, while boiled, baked, or mashed potatoes showed no such strong link.
Health
Drawing data from over 2,05,000 men and women in long-term health studies, the research explored how different forms of potato consumption, affect the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Health
When the researchers analysed potato intake, they found clear differences depending on the type and cooking method.
Health
For total potato consumption, every increase of three servings per week was linked to a five percent rise in the risk of type 2 diabetes.

However, the risk was far more pronounced for French fries: The same three-serving increase per week was associated with a 20 percent higher risk.
