I've never considered potatoes to be so controversial ... until now. Dr. John McDougall, for example, laudes the potato as one of the most healthful foods, while others such as yourself have a different idea, going as far as to say they are toxic. What's the verdict, doc - will potatoes, sweet potatoes, and possibly yams - boiled or baked - make me regret eating them regularly (say, three to four nights per week)? Thanks for all your kind work.

pcrm.org has a great response to this, just in case Dr. Greger doesn't answer you. In short, there's a financial relationship involved, as usual, to downplay the risk of dietary cholesterol.
