Immediately following cooking, nearly all potato starch becomes digestible, but high heat and slow cooling, or cycles of heating and cooling, can increase the amount of RS to up to around 10%. Potatoes have far less conventional fiber, but even this has been found to increase microbial diversity in animal models. Reducing protein intake increases microbiome Shannon index diversity. High protein intake favors opportunist species, whereas lower protein intake favors the more diverse microbial "guild" that relies on secreted mucin for nitrogen requirements, like Akkermansia mucinophila (research on this microbe has exploded over the past decade) and other downstream So, a potato-only diet can be expected to have significant amounts of microbial available carbohydrates, which would feed primary fermenters like Bifidobacteria and other species downstream. This isn't true of diets for which most fiber is non-fermentable, like the cellulose in leafy greens for most of us. If a potato-only diet reduces undigested protein reaching the colon, it would also favor the more diverse endogenous microbial guild that relies on secreted mucin for nitrogen. Personally, I mostly favor potatoes as diet foods as they have the highest satiety index (ratio of feeling of "fullness" vs. calorie content), and they've got a amino acid balance more closely matched to human needs (and without excess methionine), compared to cereal grains. Potatoes get a bad rap mostly because of the ways they're usually prepared: fried, or dripping in high calorie density cheese/cream/sauces. For myself, I sometimes dump potatoes in a pressure cooker with water, which will bring even internal temperatures to 121 ?C (250 ?F), and leave them to slowly cool overnight, and further in the refrigerator. The research suggests this approach can bring slowly digestible starch up to 45% and resistant starch up to 5%. For quick meals I'll briefly heat in the microwave with healthy toppings.

Message-ID: No health risks from EM radiation like cellphones, computer monitors, etc. but there are risks from ionizing radiation. [] [] "Phones and other devices that broadcast (tablets, laptops, you name it ...) emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation. EM radiation comes in many different forms, but it is typically characterized by its frequency (or wavelength, the two are directly connected). Most mobile devices communicate with EM signals in the frequency range running from a few hundred megahertz (MHz) to a few gigahertz (GHz). So what happens when we're hit with EM radiation? Well, it depends on the frequency. The frequency of the radiation determines the energy of the individual photons that make up the radiation. Higher frequency = higher energy photons. If photons have sufficiently high energy, they can damage a molecule and, by extension, a cell in your body. There's no exact frequency threshold from which point on EM radiation can cause damage in this way, but 1 petahertz (PHz, or 1,000,000 GHz) is a good rough estimate. For photons that don't have this much energy, the most they can hope to achieve is to see their energy converted into heat. Converting EM radiation into a heat is the #1 activity of a very popular kitchen appliance: The microwave oven. This device emits EM radiation with a frequency of about 2.4 GHz to heat your milk and burn your noodles (while leaving parts of the meal suspiciously cold). The attentive reader should now say to themselves: Wait a minute! This 2.4 GHz of the microwave oven is right there between the "few hundred MHz" and "few GHz" frequency range of our mobile devices. So are our devices mini-microwave ovens? As it turns out, 2.4 GHz is also the frequency used by many wifi routers (and devices connecting to them) (which coincidentally is the reason why poorly shielded microwave ovens can cause dropped wifi connections when active). But this is where the second important variable that determines the effects of EM radiation comes into play: intensity. A microwave oven operates with a power of somewhere around the 1,000 W (depending on the model), whereas a router has a broadcast power that is limited (by law, in most countries) to 0.1 W. That makes a microwave oven 10,000 more powerful than a wifi router at maximum output. And mobile devices typically broadcast at even lower intensities, to conserve battery. And while microwave ovens are designed to focus their radiation on a small volume in the interior of the oven, routers and mobile devices throw their radiation out in every direction. So, not only is EM radiation emitted by our devices not energetic enough to cause direct damage, the intensity with which it is emitted is orders of magnitude lower to cause any noticeable heating. But to close, I would like to discuss one more source of EM radiation. A source from which we receive radiation with frequencies ranging from 100 terahertz (THz) to 1 PHz or even slightly more. Yes, that overlaps with the range of potentially damaging radiation. And even more, the intensity of this radiation varies, but can reach up to tens of W. That's not the total emitted, but the total that directly reaches a human being. Not quite microwave oven level, but enough to make you feel much hotter when exposed to it. So what is this source of EM radiation and why isn't it banned yet? The source is none other than the Sun. (And it's probably not yet banned due to the powerful agricultural lobby.) Our Sun blasts us with radiation that is far more energetic (to the point where it can be damaging) than anything our devices produce and with far greater intensity. Even indoors, behind a window, you'll receive so much more energy from the Sun (directly or indirectly when reflected by the sky or various objects) than you do from the ensemble of our mobile devices." [AND] "The big fuss is that when people say "radiation" they are conflating anything that emits/radiates energy (i.e. anything but the cold vacuum of space) with "ionizing radiation" - x-rays and gamma rays. The normal stuff like light, infrared, UV, radio is so common and harmless, we don't think of it as radiation, except when speaking scientifically. The reason ionizing radiation is dangerous is that high concentrations of ionizing radiation are so powerful they penetrate all but the most dense matter (ex. lead). Ionizing radiation has so much energy, when it's traveling through matter, it smashes through it, breaking apart molecular bonds. When these molecular bonds are in your DNA, your DNA can get messed up and that cell in you body won't function properly any more. A few cells here and there, your body can handle, the cells self-destruct or are otherwise cleaned up. But if too many get messed up DNA, they get out of control, these cells run amok. We call that cancer. Also, here's a handy chart from XKCD explaining the scale and levels of dangerous ionizing radiation. https://xkcd.com/radiation/ " -- Lawrence F.
