Rethinking Food

Which is the healthier option: sweet potato or regular white potato?

There is no significant difference! Each of these options has very similar amounts of carbohydrates, protein, calories, etc. While these foods are not naturally unhealthy; it is how they are prepared that makes them unhealthy.

While 1 serving of potatoes contains 80 calories, deep frying that portion quadruples the calories and adds 15 grams of fat to an otherwise fat-free food. Even a baked potato can be unhealthy if loads of cheese, sour cream, and bacon are added to it.
