Q: Are sweet potatoes really better for you than regular white potatoes?
A: Not necessarily. They are both good for you, but in different ways. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber and vitamin A while white potatoes contain more essential minerals like potassium and iron. The reason white potatoes get a bad rap is because they’re a little higher up on the glycemic index scale. But, if you put a little cheese or butter on your potato the fat will lower the GI. In short, if you love white potatoes don’t throw them out of your diet because you heard they might make you fat.
