But most people who will read that advice (such as myself) will not realize that it is geared toward people with insulin resistance, but a blanket condemnation of the potato. Such a shame.
I agree.
Part of the problem is the current vehicle for the dissemination of information. These vehicles, (the media, sound bites, food labels, advertising, ) all have severe limitations. Either not enough time to go into details or have vested interests biasing the way they present the info, or the information has to be presented in a broad general way to the size of the group receiving it.
In addition, sometimes, we are also at fault because, as human nature has it, we all want a quick, simple solution.
To really understand this takes time, critical thinking and reason, and a source that has not vested interests or biases other than seeing you get well.
