Sweet Potatoes are higher in vitamin A than regular white potatoes. In addition to all of the wonderful antioxidant flavonoid benefits, sweet potatoes bring color and nutrition to any meal.
Those who have diabetes or other blood sugar issues may benefit from limiting high glycemic index foods. How potato affects a person's blood sugar largely depends on the type of potato, portion size and cooking method.
Sweet potatoes are a starch, so don't rely on them for weight loss. Remember, loading them up with butter or brown sugar, as we often do at Thanksgiving, defeats any nutritional benefits.
