Thanks for your comment and question, David. Without knowing which papers you are referring to, I can't comment on them specifically. Potato-related articles oscillate between positive and negative comments in the media, which is what the media likes to do. I principally don't see any reason why we should avoid any specific whole fruit or vegetable for any reason other than outright allergies or environmental toxin contamination. Eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes are essential components of the much-hailed Mediterranean diet. So, any suggestion to stay away from them needs to produce very convincing reasoning and rationale. I can't remember having seen any. But I'll look into it.

Have great Easter holidays!
