Summary
This study looked at how eating potatoes (mashed, boiled, or baked) compared to eating white rice, pasta, or couscous affects sleep quality and blood sugar control in healthy adults aged 40 to 80. Researchers measured sleep efficiency and nighttime glucose levels over several days. The goal was to learn more about how different starchy foods impact cardiometabolic health, not to treat any disease.
