Cardiometabolic risk in adolescents can be controlled by potato consumption

In the study consumption of up to one cup of potatoes daily by 9-17 year-old girls didn't increase risk of becoming overweight or developing high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or impaired fasting glucose by the end of the study in late adolescence.
