Pass the malt vinegar, would you?
I don't think potatoes give you diabetes........
They are full of carbs, right? Carbs/sugars… right?
You would have to eat a fuck ton of potatoes. The salt, starch, and oil from fries give you medical complications way before you get diabetes. If you go by that logic anything gives you diabetes from the carbs if you eat enough of it.
Diabetes is like the 2nd/3rd most deadly condition statistically.
Isn't it true though?
Rice, pasta anything mostly carbs can contribute to it if eaten in excess
Potatoes have a glycemic index roughly equivalent to soda.
