Those would be so awful after like 5-10 minutes, everything below the top couple inches is just going to steam and get soggy

That's several potatoes worth of fries

I don't think potatoes give you diabetes........

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They are full of carbs, right? Carbs/sugars… right?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You would have to eat a fuck ton of potatoes. The salt, starch, and oil from fries give you medical complications way before you get diabetes. If you go by that logic anything gives you diabetes from the carbs if you eat enough of it.

Diabetes is like the 2nd/3rd most deadly condition statistically.

If you go by that logic anything gives you diabetes from the carbs if you eat enough of it.

Isn't it true though?

Rice, pasta anything mostly carbs can contribute to it if eaten in excess

Potatoes have a glycemic index roughly equivalent to soda.
