Eating Potatoes Gives Your Immune System a Boost
Eating potatoes is not only good for bowel health, but also for the whole immune system, especially when they come in the form of a potato salad or eaten cold. In a study on an animal model, researchers in Spain found that pigs fed large【C1】______of raw potato starch(RPS)not only had a healthier bowel, but also decreased levels of white blood cells,【C2】______as leucocytes and lymphocytes in their blood. White blood cells are produced as a【C3】______of inflammation or disease, generally when the body is challenged.
The general down-regulation of leucocytes observed by the Spanish researchers suggests an overall beneficial effect, a generally more【C4】______body. The reduction in leucocyte levels was about 15 percent. Lower lymphocyte levels are also indicative of【C5】______levels of inflammation , but the observed reduction in both lymphocyte density【C6】______lymphocyte apoptosis is surprising.
In 【C7】______was the longest study of its kind, pigs were fed RPS over 14 weeks to 【C8】______the effect of starch on bowel health. "The use of raw potato starch in this experiment is【C9】______to simulate the effects of a diet high in resistant starch," said study leader Jose Francisco Perez at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain.
Humans do not eat【C10】______potatoes, but they do eat a lot of foods that contain resistant starch, such as cold boiled potatoes,legumes,grains,green bananas,pasta and cereals. About 10 percent of the starch eaten by human is resistant starch—starch that is not【C11】______in the small intestine and so is shunted into the large intestine where it ferments. Starch consumption is thought to reduce the【C12】______of large bowel cancer and may also have an effect on irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).
Immunology expert Lena Ohman’ s team【C13】______found that the overall lymphocyte levels do not vary for IBS patients,but that lymphocytes are transferred from the peripheral blood to the gut,which support the hypothesis of IBS being【C14】______least partially an inflammatory disorder. She says the decrease in lymphocytes observed by the Spanish is therefore interesting, and a diet of resistant starch may be worth【C15】______in IBS patients. Ohman is currently at the Department of Internal Medicine, Goteborg University, Sweden. The study is published in the Journal Chemistry and Industry, the magazine of the SCI.
