Cold potatoes strengthen your immune system - but don't put salt on them!

Cold spuds strengthen immune system - Telegraph

"The general decrease of leucocytes in the pigs suggests an overall beneficial effect, says the immunology expert Lena Ohman at the Department of Internal Medicine, Göteborg University, Sweden."

Extract:

"New scientific research has discovered that the potato is especially effective in boosting the immune system when eaten cold or in a salad.

A three-month study on the health of pigs, fed largely on potatoes, discovered that they had significantly decreased levels of white blood cells, produced as a result of inflammation or disease.

Spanish researchers observing the animals observed a 15 per cent reduction in leucocyte levels, a common chemical in the blood which can signify the presence of disease."

It's good to hear of research about good nutrition rather than funded by drug companies...

Reducing salt intake also strengthens your immune system, so don't put salt on them or you will undo the good the cold potatoes can do you!
