Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Potatoes/potatos contain the wonderful nutrient Alpha Lipoic Acid ( ALA ) which has many super-important functions in our body. Moreover I love potatos. Now my question to our List: What is the effect of heating on ALA in potato? I like to eat it with skin/peel. Should I boil it in water to preserve most of the ALA? My idea behind heating is just to kill the harmful bacteria and to soften up the potato. Also, can somebody tell me the amount of potato to be eaten in a day to take at least 100 mg. of ALA daily? Thanks. I am afraid I have reised rather heavy ( hard ) questions. For ALA, visit: http://www.tldp.com/issue/160/160alpha.htm Ratan.
