can you use ordinary potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?
ReplyDeleteIt's no problem to use ordinary potatoes, but sweet potatoes contain more antioxidants. Stress releases free radicals into the cells in the body and these can cause damage, antioxidants help to counteract this damage, spinach is also a great antioxidant.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your source for comment on antioxidant above?
ReplyDeleteA really good source of information on antioxidants (and carotenoids in particular) which is easy to read and based on scientific evidence is The China Study by T. Colin Campbell & Thomas M Campbell II (Benbella books) page 214-215. His most interesting work in my opinion is with regard to supplements "Consuming one carotenoid at a time in the form of a pill will never be the same as eating the whole food, which provides the natural network of health- supporting nutrients." same book page 301-302. It's an easy book to get and well worth the read.
