18. Almost everyone knows that potatoes are starches and starches turn into sugar when digested by our stomachs. What it means is this….that one medium sized potato (about the size of 1/2 of your fist)equals about 4 tablespoons or one-fourth (1/4) of a cup of sugar. So if you have a large potato for supper, you’ve just eaten about 1/2 cup of sugar. The only way to get that sugar out of your blood stream and into your muscles to supply energy, is for you to exercise by walking, jogging, bicycling, etc. Almost everyone knows that potatoes are starches and starches turn into sugar when digested by our stomachs.
