Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s hospital have conducted research, published in the British Medical Journal, that has concluded that eating potatoes may lead to an increase in the risk of high blood pressure. Note an increase in risk is not the same as increase in cases!
However, in what I deem to be a fatal flaw in their research, they did not distinguish between the cooking methods used (eg baked, mashed, fried etc). That being said they also concluded that there was no association between eating crisps and high blood pressure.
However, the authors acknowledged that, as with any observational study, no firm conclusions could be drawn about cause and effect.
In other words this research is of bugger all use to man and beast!
