Potatoes found to be safest food
The study, which involved giving food intolerance tests to more than 8,000 volunteers, found that less than one percent of the participants tested positive for potatoes.

They are thought to cause few problems because they break down easily in the digestive system.

Les Rowley, a spokesman for the study, said: “When you consider that each and every person in the UK eats on average 200lb of potatoes a year, this is really quite surprising. Whereas some food intolerances appear to be caused by too much of the same food, on a too regular basis, it seems that the potato is the exception to the rule.”

The three foods that most often cause reactions are cow’s milk, yeast, and egg white.
