(2/4, Nierenberg) reported, "When overweight people included two
servings of purple potatoes a day in their diet for a month, they not
only reduced their blood pressure, they also didn't gain weight in the
process," according to a study published online in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The study of 18 middle-aged overweight
adults revealed that "compared to those who went spud-free, purple
potato eaters had on average drop of slightly more than 4% in diastolic
pressure (the bottom number in a reading) and a drop of
more than 3% in systolic pressure (the top number)." What's more, even
though "potato eaters took in more calories compared to adults given no
potatoes, their weight didn't change."FYI: normal kidney function
