Decoded Everything's sub group: Decoded Science is science for the layperson, like myself. I am not a chemist but I can read this article and understand it easily. It doesn't make me a rocket scientist but does help satisfy my curiosity.
If you are interested in knowing the difference between starches, sugars and cellulose, this article will answer it for you.

I knew some about carbohydrates. That starchy foods can convert into glucose in our blood so I realize I need to cut back on potatoes if I want to cut back on my carbs to lose a bit of weight.
While healthy people can tolerate potatoes in moderation, they're not a good choice for anyone who needs to keep her blood sugar balanced.

, and they are a good food. I mean, I can think of many ways to serve up potatoes, and they are often included mixed together with other vegetables like carrots and onions and green peas. Beef stew is a good one. I love beef stew with potatoes, onions, carrots and so forth.

If you liked that site, for getting good science articles to read about, you may also enjoy the following site, called Quirky Science, which I really think is a very good place to learn about many science facts and lots of nice articles that are easy to follow and informative.
QuirkyScience, math, and non-science articles - all easily understood - for everyday people. Yet, there is a twist that makes this site different.
