I read it, and I must be eating too many potatoes because I have no idea what they are on about.
It's all true. How else would Idahoans be so consistently dimwitted?
Nightshades are problematic for stressed and old people because the plants have mild poisons. Old people and addicts tend to not be able to handle the poisons in tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and chilis. But for people that are nightshade-tolerant potatoes are an excellent food crop. IIRC, someone was annoyed that do-gooders wanted to remove potatoes from the food stamp programs, because the potato is actually an alm…

-1 potato contains 110 calories
-Lets say our hypothetical adult will eat 10 potatoes to hit 2200 calories
-The only nutrients which potatoes provide more than 10% recommended daily value are Iron, vitamins C and B6. The iron is not heme iron and therefore may actually be worth less, but we'll say it's enough just for the sake of argument. Potassium and phosphorous are close at 9% and 8%, but everything else is lower.
-The fat content is negligible, which is a problem because your brain is made out of fat
-20 grams of incomplete protein means your body can't repair muscle or bone adequately.
-No cholesterol, which also has negative outcomes
This is a high calorie starvation diet.

I thought one of the issues with potatoes is that they have a really high glycemic index, not lack of nutrients. So consistently eating a lot of them increases one's risk of Type 2 diabetes.
That is misleading. Potatoes are ranked as one of the most satiating foods per calorie. The problem is people put a lot of butter/oil on them. Or eat them too processed.

I've been reading that what gives potatoes a satiety boost is that they contain proteinase inhibitors. These limit your appetite by disrupting your digestion. Maybe they are more effective as a weight loss food than the raw nutrition numbers would suggest, but for an athlete that wants to cut I don't think slowing your ability to digest amino acids is a good idea.

Can you tell me more about nightshade intolerance among addicts?
I think I remember where I read this - check your protonmail address.
