Heart-Disease: Potatoes are healthful!

Not deep fried potatoes.
Not potatoes smothered in butter, margarine, or sour cream.
Low fat yogurt can be used as a topping, plain or with herbs and
spices.

But try potatoes that are baked, boiled, fried on a non-stick
surface with a minimum of oil or non-stick spray, chopped into soups
and stews, and on, and on.

It is extremely unfortunate that deep fried and salted potatoes
("french-fries" or pomme de terre frit" or "pomme frit", and potato
chips) are so tasty, and are now the most popular of all fast foods.
But severely restrict your intake if you don't want heart disease,
stroke, and other
illnesses.
