Renowned nutritionist Artem Leonov also added that the amount of potatoes a person eats directly depends on their gut microbiota.
What are the characteristics of the body that make it worthwhile to refrain from eating potatoes?

Also, in case of individual intolerance to potatoes, which is also common, because potatoes belong to the nightshade family and can cause a latent allergic reaction,” he said.
Leonov also added that it all depends on the gut microbiota. Anyone who does not have a carbohydrate metabolism disorder and an individual reaction to it can eat a lot of potatoes.
