Yams are thought to have originated in West Africa. Sweet potatoes are native to the West Indies and the southern United States. Sweet potatoes are so nutritious,and are packed with nutrients such as carotenoids, copper, and fiber. They also rank much lower than white potatoes on the glycemic index scale. They are easily digestible and healing to the intestines, kidneys, and spleen-pancreas. They are also helpful for inflamed colons, poor blood circulation, and lactating women. Yams have many medicinal uses ranging from PMS to colitis. Both sweet potatoes and yams contain phytochelatins which can bind to heavy metals and can therefore help in detoxifying the body of copper, mercury, lead, and cadmium. So eat your Potatoes!
