I Was Wondering... Do You Know?

Which is healthiest (or least harmful) for you...

Potatoes, rice or spaghetti?

JJ :Cool:

Carbohydrates should be limited for the elderly especially for diabetics, Spaghetti having 30+ grams potatoes having 17 grams and 28 grams per 100 grams in rice. Potatoes look like your best option JJ.....

 

[Popeye]

rice contains arsnic and should not be reheated.

Yes but Arsenic is good for sea-sickness

Yes but if he'd waited 6 years for your advice Buttons, he certainly wouldn't need a crash course with weight watchers or fat-fighters.

Amazing how these old threads find a second breath. Anyway what was the outcome of the original post, did he settle on rice bread or spaghetti..

He waited for your reply and wasted away, before he cast off his mortal coil he arranged for one of his people to 'Post' every so often to keep up the Charade!

The vitamin c in spuds is greatly reduced by peeling and largely destroyed by cooking so best to eat raw potato peelings. These would not necessarily induce a sense of fullness but certainly nausea which would work just as well.

I came back home on Sunday before the cold , and it's mainly in the Estern part of France, I'm in SouthWest France. Mind you, it's very cold here too, but sunny, not snowing!

Rice is supposed to be the easiest to digest and of the three is best tolerated by people with food/digestive problems. It's also the most boring and I'd much rather have potatoes, boiled, mashed, roast, jacket, sauté, chipped but not all at once.

 

[dryad]

spuds for me every time, not too keen on chips though to be frank and favourite are jerseys with skin on for max vits, hot or cold with salad yum, yum, yum, followed by jackets, then dauphinoise, and good old mash..
bugger, that's got me dribblin'..

 

[joka250]

rice contains arsnic and should not be reheated. Potatoes on the other hand are very versatile...boiled, boiled and mashed, boiled in their skins, baked, roast, chipped, chopped, sliced....can be reheated or put in a salad with lots of garlic....spuds every time

Spot on with the arsenic but to reduce it significantly soak rice in cold water overnight drain and cook as normal. Some scientific studies to support this but can't seem to find link, will keep looking.
We find the rice requires a lot less cooking so saves on gas, no obvious change in taste..

Sue was T2 diabetic until we cut out, gluten, dairy, potatoes and all processed foods. We now eat the paleo diet and love it. It has altered her MS for the better and is always in the news now. The above spike ones blood sugars. We read Dr Michael Moseleys book "The Clever Guts diet." A good read and very informative. Stay healthy.

 

[laurieash]

So you have taken my advice to grow rice.

 

[Podney]

Potatoes. Anyway you don’t want none of that there forrin food.
