Eating potatoes lowers risk of death? I am going to live forever! I am 100% a starch girl!

 

A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition reveals that eating two potatoes a day  lowers the risk of death by 12%.

Norwegian scientists studied 77,000 people over four decades. The study showed that for every 100 grams of potatoes eaten, the risk of death and heart disease decreased by 4%.

Potatoes were found to be a healthy source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. So now I wonder does this count when they are fried and salted to perfection?

See results here.
