White Potatoes in Any Form Increase Blood Pressure
Hypertension isn’t limited to potato chips. Researchers analyzed over 20 years’ worth of research to determine what potatoes were doing to hypertension. They found that people who ate potatoes four times per week were 11% more likely to have high blood pressure.
The result is worse when potatoes are combined with sodium. High blood pressure is more common in those who eat french fries more than four times per week. You should limit your intake of potatoes due to their potassium.
