I have never had any issues like bloating or whatever. I definitely wouldn’t eat a green potato; they are always clearly not ‘sprouts’ or similar. Maybe it’s just my body’s desire to remedy my familial risk of colon cancer?

Some research has suggested that digesting these resistant starches in small doses could have positive effects for colon cancer patients. Raw potatoes also contain more riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamin C than cooked potatoes and raw potatoes don’t increase blood sugar.

If I get the shits or bloating from raw potatoes, I’ll give you a ping!

Yes, do, do let me know right away! lol

That said, I believe cooking potatoes creates that carcinogen called Acrylamide. Brief look says high heat creates more, and the longer cooked the more it creates. Boiling is recommended as the least damaging. Or raw, if that's your thing.

So the takeaway is that potatoes are poisonous no matter how they’re served.
