well sweet pototes low your cholesterol?

Answer 1

Yes, sweet potatoes and any vegetable or fruit high in fiber (celery, apples, bananas, collard greens, etc.) will lower cholesterol, in addition to eating lean meats.

Answer 2

The rich, deep orange color of the flesh of sweet potatoes is a good hint that this root vegetable is rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. In fact, just 3/4 cup of sweet potatoes provides up to eight times more vitamin A from beta-carotene than the RDA for this nutrient.

However, don’t be concerned about overdosing on vitamin A from sweet potatoes. The beta-carotene form of this nutrient protects against toxicity.

Sweet potatoes are also a very good source of dietary fiber, as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals, including manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and more.
