Chlorpropham or Bud-Nip
Avoid chlorpropham
Bud-Nip or Chlorpropham are used on root crops throughout the USA to delay germination of vegetables. It is also used on potatoes in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Another name is Taterpex. This was discovered by a young student trying to get a sweet potato plant to grow. She discovered that only organic sweet potatoes would grow into a plant.

A potato is high in potassium, can develop acrylamide, can be sprayed with Bud-nip, and are harmful to PKD/PLD. Today many root vegetables are dipped in Bud-nip or chlorpropham before coming to market. Some find that by soaking a potato in lemon water and peeling it may diminish the potassium content. Potato skins are said to be high in magnesium which may help thicken thinning hair and restore the natural color to graying hair. Avoid fried or high heated potato as this easily converts to acrylamides - producing more acrylamides, hence deep-fried potato chips and French fries will be much higher in acrylamide. The potato starch has a particular affinity for changing into acrylamide with heat, even more so than wheat flour. French fries, crisps, and chips are harmful due to their high acrylamides. If you like baked potatoes, try substituting sun chokes in season May through November. In Japan villages that eat lotus root as their starch have lower rates of liver disease throughout their community.
