Cardiometabolic risk in adolescents can be controlled by potato consumption
Overview
Adolescence is a critical period for the evolution of cardiometabolic risk factors that are largely influenced by diet and lifestyle. Understanding these risk factors is essential to developing effective dietary guidance for disease prevention targeting this critical age period.
Potato consumption not associated with elevated cardiometabolic risk in adolescent girls, finds a new study. 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.
