I did not know there was so much to learn about starchy foods. Anyway, great article and will definately look at starchy foods a bit more closely.

Dear Moses,

You have to eat what you are genetically inclined to eat and as you have the emzymes to digest it. Stick to your genes and your ethnic eating habits.

Swathi,

Not really. If you eat in moderate quantities, its great for health.

Depends on where you live in Nigeria Moses; In the Middle Belt/North, we have whole wheat, broken-wheat, guinea corn, millet, and brown rice – all grown there. Maybe you should travel a bit more heh?

You talked about whole grain but in Nigeria we have just rice, cassava, garri(made from cassave), yam, sweet/irish potatoes, corn, etc. which is better for reducing fat especially stomach fat and petruded tummy
