The Myth That Eating McDonald's Makes You Obese | Hans Bader fee.org/articles/the-m… via @feeonline
Potatoes are highly nutritious, yet many people harbor irrational prejudices against them. They have a lot more vitamin C, and at least as much potassium, as a banana. And a baked potato typically has only about 110 calories, similar to a banana.
Despite this fact, the Obama administration banned white potatoes from the federal WIC program in a 2009 regulation, a ban that was repealed in 2017 after policymakers realized that potatoes were a nutritious and economical food source.
In 2010, an NIH official foolishly urged an audience of parents to stock their refrigerators with apple sauce, as a way of ensuring that kids always have access to fruits and vegetables.
She made this silly recommendation even though apple sauce is sugary and has no vitamin C ,unless vitamin C is artificially added to it, since an apple’s natural vitamin C is lost when it is processed into apple sauce.
