Why Potatoes Are Not Paleo: Adverse Health Effects | The Paleo Diet
I suspect numerous bad effects from potatoes in myself, and others here often do too.
I have found out from this blog post that it is high in SAPONINS, which directly increase intestinal permeability, increasing endotoxemia. It appears as though they are particularly concentrated in the skins, so anyone with gut issues should at the very least avoid those, but consider avoiding potatoes entirely as well. This could apply to other tubers skins. An aside: quinoa is also high in saponins, and Ive had terrible reactions to that.
