Can potatoes cause mood swings?

[Ippodrom47]

I've tested regular (not sweet) potatoes multiple times and they seem to make me irritable, cranky and moody. I don't eat potato skins at all, so there shouldn't be lots of solanine left in them. Whether it's a potato pie, potato pancakes, boiled/mashed - all the same.

For me, yes. I get the same symptoms - super irritable mostly.

Hi! Thanks! Does it happen every time you have some potatoes?

Philosopher and mystic Rudolf Steiner didn't like potatoes. He said they "went straight to your head," whatever that means. They are also considered tamasic/entropic in Indian Ayurveda, for what it's worth.

Any food can cause mood swings. It comes down to your individual genetics and health status. n=1 everything, always.

Yes! Depends on the amount though.
