sugar in sweet potatoes?

[chest6]

In short, is the sugar in sweet potatoes something to worry about? Should they be avoided for that reason just like any other food with excess sugar?

no its nothing to worry about in my opinion...i eat sweat potatoes everyday but i also add in spenda brown sugar...i also take 200mg of r-la first just so i can get away with eating that sugar.

arent you bulinking???? I eat a sweet potatoe and/or a yam every single day....3rd meal, 4-5 hours before training.....gives me the energy for an intense session......the carbs from oats 1hr pre-w/o are more of an add-on than anything else...the true energy comes from 3-5 hrs pre.
