There's discussion in the popular media that potato consumption is related to the onset or aggravation of Type II diabetes. It's true that potatoes are metabolized to virtually pure glucose, but epidemiological studies appear inconclusive. The problem is that the major risk appears to be associated with French fries. At least one large study did not find a risk with boiled or baked potatoes (without butter or cream?). (Hodge AM, Dallas ER, O Dea K, Giles GG; American Journal of Epidemiology 2007 165(6):603-610)
