Potatoes = good and until someone cut n pastes that story here I won't hear otherwise. Anyway it wants my email address so I'm not going there

"view source" to read the text underneath the floating box if you're like REALLY interested. It's just the usual "cooking food makes it carcinogenic" line, specifically at "high temperatures", so I guess that means everything deep-fried. Basically the guy reckons everyone should eat 80% of their food raw. Just don't mention spinach.

It depends rather a lot on the type of potato you're cooking, how it's prepared, and what temperature it's cooked at. The evidence for serious toxicity in humans is relatively weak from what I can tell, as well. I particularly like this summary:
"Cooking foods clearly has a beneficial impact for humans; the microbial content can be decreased, proteins made more digestible and the flavor and texture improved. But at the same time, amino acids, creatine and sugars, which occur naturally in meats, may be involved in reactions that generate heterocyclic amine (HA) carcinogens during cooking. Recently, another amine carcinogen, acrylamide, was found at relatively high levels in cooked carbohydrate-rich foods, especially potatoes."

diddly dee. potato.
