Hi Dev,
Potatoes, yam etc. are said to increase weight, but how can carrot also be a weight increasing veggie, when it is one of the healthiest vegetable around ?
Does consuming it in raw, juice form make any difference or is equally promoting weight increase like cooked carrots ?
Hope you can clarify,
Thanks.

Hi Yamuna,
Any vegs that grow below the soil(root vegs like carrot,beetroot,potatoes etc) r rich in starch...Vegs rich in stratch doesn't mean U need to avoid them completely...U can take them in moderation so as to limit the carbs u consume...If the supply of carbs is equal to the carbs demanded by ur body,U'll not put on weight...
Hi CI,
I don't know abt potato chips... But french fries,generally,r fried in the fat taken from pork...maybe that plays a part...
Got it Dev ! Thanks for the instant reply.
From today’s “Hindustan Times”:
Cancer suit against big chips
Potato chips and French fries could soon come with a warning label in California if the state’s top attorney prevails in a lawsuit filed on Friday against nine fast food chains and snack-food makers.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer asked for a court order requiring McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Frito Lay and other companies to warn consumers that their fries and chips may contain acrylamide, a chemical the state says causes cancer.
Acrylamide, a byproduct of chemicals and high heat, has been found at low levels in several foods. The lawsuit focuses on French fries and chips because they have more acrylamide than other foods, according to the attorney general’s office.

Hi dev
Are Badams good for skin/hair?, I heard soime where that soaking few badams over night in water and eating them in the morning is good is 4 ur brain as well, any ideas?
Badam is said to be good for the skin...Dunno the reason behind it... For the brain & hair...I'm not very sure... If U want a good skin & supple body,try yoga... it works magic...
