A study shows that phenolic compounds in potatoes may help regulate glycemic response. The study, which was published in the journal Nutrition Research, aimed to determine the phenolic profiles of different varieties of fresh potatoes and chips, as well as to examine the potential of potato phenolic extracts in regulating starch digestion and intestinal glucose transport in model systems.
In conclusion, these findings suggest that phenolic compounds in fresh potatoes and potato chips may help regulate glycemic response by lowering blood sugar levels.
