Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Ratan What I have found to be the best way to cook/bake (with skin on) a potato is to push a metal skewer and then set your oven at 100-110 Degrees C to minimize enzyme damage. It will take 30-90 minutes to cook at this low temp. Without the skewer it would probably tak at least twice to 33 times as long. Before I understood the damage caused by excessive heat I used to cook at 300+ degrees C. Now also is the concern about acrymalide, caused by a reaction between heat and starch, the more heat the more acrymalide.That gave a nice crispy skin. I use some 316 stainless steel nails,4 inches long. Have used these for nearly 45 years except when using the microwave. any non-oxidizing metal will work. Many of my friends just use a cheap stainless steel dinner knife. Here's to good potato baking. Cheers, Doug - DR. Ratan Singh Cc: jdrape Sunday, October 19, 2003 10:49 PM What about potatoes? Potatoes/potatos contain the wonderful nutrient Alpha Lipoic Acid ( ALA )which has many super-important functions in our body. Moreover I lovepotatos. Now my question to our List:What is the effect of heating on ALA in potato? I like to eat it withskin/peel. Should I boil it in water to preserve most of the ALA? My ideabehind heating is just to kill the harmful bacteria and to soften up thepotato.Also, can somebody tell me the amount of potato to be eaten in a day to takeat least 100 mg. of ALA daily?Thanks. I am afraid I have reised rather heavy ( hard ) questions.For ALA, visit: http://www.tldp.com/issue/160/160alpha.htmRatan.My homepage: www.JaipurMart.com/trade/meditationandhealth«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»NATIONWIDE DENTAL BENEFITS PACKAGE PLUSSAVE UP TO 80% on DENTAL, PRESCRIPTIONS DRUGS,GLASSES, CONTACTS, VISION CARE, & CHIROPRACTIC.$11.95 For Single or$19.95 For an entire household per month!Immediate Coverage * No Waiting Period Pre-existing Covered * No Limit on Benefits http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/MMerrill/ Email: MEM121«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§ - PULSE ON WORLD HEALTH CONSPIRACIES! §Subscribe:......... - To :.... - Any information here in is for educational purpose only, it may be news related, purely speculation or someone's opinion.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Thanks. But now I am confused. I got a mail that said that potato is harmful. Only sweet potato is ok. Ratan.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Potato is bad if you have arthritis – all members of the nighshade family should not be eaten if you have arthritis. I’m not sure if you should limit it for any other reason. Sweet potato is a member of a different family – I don’t remember the name, but it is related to morning glory, and not related to potato.

Another consideration would be overall carbohydrate loading. At least, it is for me and my clients. I advise everyone to restrict starchy foods of all types, potatoes included.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Ratan I made a typo. It should have been 3 times not 33 times as long to cook without a skewer. The acrymalide issue is relatively new. Quite a lot of print. Do a google search Potato-acrymalide. Cheers, Doug - DR. Ratan Singh Cc: doug Tuesday, October 21, 2003 12:00 AM Re: What about potatoes?
