Ok I'm a food science major at the univeristy of maine. It is true that cooked potatoes have a slightly higher bioavailbility of starch. The starch in potatoes has a sorta crystaline srtucture, when heated these structures break down, however many of them form agian when the potato is cooled. Those crystaline starches act as fiber instead of a caloric starch. However this loss of calories is so minimal, while the gain in fiber is quite substatnial (a little fiber goes a long way)

As with a lot of health & nutrition "experts" with poor scientific understanding, Tim VanOrden jumps to an incorrect conclusion by being unaware of all the details and eager to bolster his pre-conceptions.

(See: J. Sci. Food and Ag., vol 26(10), pg. 1567–76, Oct. 1975). "Pigs fed a diet containing cooked potato grew faster and CONVERTED FEED TO LIVE WEIGHT MORE EFFICIENTLY than pigs fed the same amount of ... raw potato. The presence of raw potato in diets was also found to reduce appetite."

As a vegan and and someone who eats 10+ potatoes a day, I am irritated by this idiot Van Orden. His assertion has no basis in science whatsoever. He, like most raw vegans, feels they must separate themselves to a degree and promote their specific dietary proclivity. This man is an athlete, not a medical doctor or a food scientist. He's relying on broscience. It's complete bullshit and he needs to shut the fuck up and stop bashing my beloved tuber.

Carbs dont make you fat.....

Look at my video response. Look at my body at the end 5% bodyfat. I ate cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes. I did eat a lot of raw foods also, but I also ate soaked cooked grains and tubers. Ate eggs but no other animal products. Don't tell me that cooking makes you fat its a load of crap. In fact I was on the raw diet for a while and I was not as strong as I was when I started cooking certain foods. There is a place for both raw and cooked foods, its about balance simple as that.

Wow. If I look at you then and look at you now (with the Starting Over videos), you look and sound so peaceful and relaxed now.

lost weight eating raw potatoes because it's gross so you just skip the meals, simple science

@mancerab3 Wait for what? You think eating potato's are going to make me fat or unhealthy?

[mancerab3]

@TheGreatFoxKing

Wait till you are older. We'll see how healthy you really are.

¿really?... what we don't deal with is the manipulative mainstream nutrition bent on selling their products, by convincing us that their crap is "good" for us. That most people have to take some kind of medication by the time they are 40. That no matter how much milk a woman drinks she still gets osteoporosis. Another proof is no matter how much meat we eat we are still sick... have too much cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc...
