Article Abstract
Objective: To determine whether higher intake of baked or boiled potatoes, French fries, or potato chips is associated with incidence of hypertension.
Design: Prospective longitudinal cohort studies.
Setting: Healthcare providers in the United States.
Participants: 62 175 women in Nurses' Health Study, 88 475 women in Nurses' Health Study II, and 36 803 men in Health Professionals Follow-up Study who were non-hypertensive at baseline.
Main Outcome Measure: Incident cases of hypertension (self reported diagnosis by healthcare provider).
Results: Compared with consumption of less than one serving a month, the random effects pooled hazard ratios for four or more servings a week were 1.11 (95% confidence interval 0.96 to 1.28; P for trend=0.05) for baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes, 1.17 (1.07 to 1.27; P for trend=0.001) for French fries, and 0.97 (0.87 to 1.08; P for trend=0.98) for potato chips. In substitution analyses, replacing one serving a day of baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes with one serving a day of non-starchy vegetables was associated with decreased risk of hypertension (hazard ratio 0.93, 0.89 to 0.96).
Conclusion: Higher intake of baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes and French fries was independently and prospectively associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension in three large cohorts of adult men and women.

Long-term intake of thermally processed starch-based foods may impact glucose homeostasis, but the consistency of the effects of various thermal treatments and the reasons are not clear. In this study, thermal treatments, especially boiling, damaged the crystal structure and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of starch-based blends, thus decreasing the structural order and stability. These thermally treated starch-based blends increased the appetite of mice, promoted food digestion, and enhanced postprandial glucose response.

This study identified the key non-volatile taste components and characteristics in the abdominal muscle (AM) of Eriocheir sinensis under various thermal processing methods: boiling at rising temperature (BO-R), boiling at constant temperature (BO-C), steaming with water vapor (ST) and salt-baked (BK). The results showed that arginine (Arg), alanine (Ala), glycine (Gly), glutamate (Glu), 5'-AMP, histidine (His), lysine (Lys), proline (Pro), K, PO, betaine, succinic acid, and lactic acid were the key taste contributors, exhibiting taste activity values (TAV) higher than 1.0.

Article Synopsis
- Phenolic acids in whole grains are important for health due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, with different grain types showing varying levels of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids.
- These compounds help combat obesity and diabetes by influencing key signaling pathways involved in metabolism and inflammation.
- Processing methods can affect the amount and effectiveness of phenolic acids, with thermal methods often reducing their levels, while nonthermal techniques like germination and certain new technologies may help preserve or enhance them.

Due to exceptional nutritional quality, quinoa is an ideal candidate to solve food insecurity in many countries. Quinoa's profile of polyphenols, essential amino acids, and lipids make it ideal for digestive health. How the nutrient profile and bioavailability of quinoa metabolites differs across cooking methods such as heat, pressure, and time employed has yet to be elucidated.

Background: Data on the relation of potato consumption with risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited and inconsistent. It is unclear whether the plant-based diet index (PDI), which is a novel and comprehensive tool to assess overall dietary pattern, modifies the association of potato intake with T2D.
Objectives: We examined the association of total, combined baked, boiled, and mashed potatoes and fried potatoes with risk of T2D and test the interaction between PDI score and potato consumption on T2D risk.
