What a lot of people don't realize is that potatoes are poisonous

So not every potato is poisonous but it doesn't hurt to educate ones self on the topic. Many will say I have eaten potatoes all my life and it never hurt me . You have to understand what is at play here . Potatoes produce a poison to help with potato bugs eating them . The stems and leaves are very poisonous and can make you very sick if you ate them or made tea from the leaves . Some say a green colored potato is poisonous or it will make you sick . To understand this you need to think like a potato . The green color is just clorifill (sp)--- just an attempt of the potato to increase its ability to change sunlight into food . The green color is an indication that the potato MAY be poisonous . The plant sends poison to all areas that may be attacked and eaten by bugs -- and if the potato tuber is exposed to the sunlight then it turns green and also it is exposed to the bugs that want to eat it -- so the green parts start to get poisonous . As far as the amount of poison -- every potato and plant is different . Potatoes originally came from south America and were very poisonous -- they have been breed to be eatable over the centuries and also have traveled all over the world.If you keep your seed for use next year and in my case I did it every year for quite some time . Every year you do this they revert a little more every year back to what they were in the beginning -- very poisonous . The worse a potato looks the more likely it is to make you sick --- because the potato thinks it is being attacked so it makes more poison. Rotten potatoes or potatoes that have been injured (cut etc) while being harvested are very likely to be poisonus . Some people are far more sensitive to potato poison ( solaline) than others . In my case after eating a bad potato it takes a day or so then my arthritis gets very bad . It doesn't cause arthritis but it takes what is happening in your body and makes it much worse . So if you are suffering from extremely painful joints stop eating potatoes ( and the other nigh shade plants -- look it up on th internet) for a month or so and like me you may notice a vast improvement . I have asked Doctors about this and they are very reluctant to comment .Potato growers of course don't want any body to hear this . Dr's will prescribe anti inflammatory drugs and pain killers for sure but wont say that potatoes are causing 70% of you pain .
I find that if potatoes are peeled that is where most of the poison is . Even better if they are boiled as the poison is water soluble . Frying them in oil seems to drive the poison in . Baking a potato in the skin also drives the poison in . Some people are going to say I am full of it and I don't know what I am talking about --- well this poison doesn't affect every body . Tobacco plants are the same family (night shade plants) and they produce nicotine to kill there bugs . Some people love the nicotine in tobacco and others it makes them sick .
