MOSCOW, 13 Sep. Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova in her telegram channel spoke about the dangers of hot potatoes. The specialist noted that potatoes should cool to room temperature before eating. In this case, the glucose level will not increase much, and the starch will partially ferment in the intestine, which will lead to an increase in the number of beneficial bacteria. In addition, the doctor said that boiled potatoes can be part of the diet. Some dishes with potatoes have a high calorie content: a serving of french fries can be equated with other types of fast food in terms of calories, a lot of butter, milk and cream are added to mashed potatoes, flour and butter are added to potato pancakes. Fatty, salty and fried foods increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and harm the liver and kidneys. French fries can cause problems with facial skin, concentration and memory.
