potatoes are really starting to show its usability. Sweet Potato
French Fries have been around for years. Now, they are starting to
get recognized for their health benefits. It is a beneficial food for
diabetics, which I am one, for their help in stabilizing blood sugar and
in lowering insulin resistance.
