Daly City, CA | September 27, 2010 2:34pm. My Trustee's lawyer sent me a waiver to finalize my deceased parent's Trust because my siblings whom I do not get along with want to get assets and money to them quickly, my only problem is I want to see EVERY thing on paper in terms of accounting and what the money has been or is being spent on.
All potatoes actually contain low levels of natural toxins called glycoalkaloids. The toxins are produced by the potato in response to stress, which is green potatoes, which have been exposed to UV light, can contain high levels. Potatoes that have a lot of bruising, sprouts or eyes, or that taste bitter may also have high levels of toxins. Green potatoes really can make you sick. Glycoalkaloids can cause severe stomachache and even death, in rare cases, and it's not destroyed by cooking.
No white potatoes - cooked or raw, skins or flesh which are part of the nightshade family and contain the toxin solanine. Solanine destroys red blood cells and can cause diarrhea and heart failure. It is sometimes killed by cooking at high heats, however boiling won't reduce the solanine levels. Best to stay away from all parts of the white potato including the vines and leaves. (Note: Sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family, not the nightshade family, and perfectly safe to feed to your chickens.) No tomato leaves and no eggplant leaves both of which are also part of the nightshade family and potentially toxic.
