Researchers in Australia have debunked previous findings that consuming potatoes is bad for your health and increases the risk of developing medical conditions such as Type 2 diabetes.

A team of researchers at Edith Cowan University (EDU) in Joondalup found that health issues associated with potatoes may actually be down to how they are prepared and what they are eaten with after analyzing a previous study on the issue.
