This means they cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. In the case of French fries, frying adds even more calories and unhealthy fats, making matters worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Study Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The study followed more than <strong>205,000 people<\/strong> over nearly <strong>40 years.<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During that time, over <strong>22,000 participants<\/strong> developed type 2 diabetes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Results clearly show that not all potatoes are equal\u2014the method of preparation makes a big difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Takeaway Message<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An occasional portion of fries won\u2019t ruin your health\u2014but regular consumption might.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boiled, baked, or mashed potatoes can be part of a balanced and even sustainable diet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Still, <strong>whole grains<\/strong> should remain a priority, as they are proven to offer the best protection against type 2 diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusion<br>Not all potatoes are created equal\u2014it\u2019s the preparation method and the foods we swap them with that matter most. French fries are tasty but risky when eaten often, while boiled, baked, or mashed potatoes can fit into a balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best long-term choice, however, remains whole grains, which consistently show strong protection against type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Source: Mousavi SM, Gu X, Imamura F, AlEssa HB, Devinsky O, Sun Q, Hu FB, Manson JE, Rimm EB, Forouhi NG, Willett WC. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/390\/bmj-2024-082121\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Total and specific potato intake and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three US cohort studies and a substitution meta-analysis of prospective cohorts.<\/a> BMJ. 2025 Aug 6;390:e082121. doi: 10.1136\/bmj-2024-082121.
