I am NOT recommending we eat potatoes. Potatoes are high in potassium; are a detrimental nightshade plant to be avoided
with PKD; can produce harmful alkaloids and solanine; and when heated give off harmful acrylamide, a carcinogen.
As an example only, here is a list below of the amino acid content of 9 large baked potatoes.
These amino acids are well over the required amounts of essential amino acids one needs to take in daily.
The following table shows the amino acid requirements for adults as recommended by the World Health Organization, and it is
followed by the amino acids contained in 9 potatoes: 2530 calories of baked potatoes = 9 large baked potatoes.
| Essential Amino Acid | Requirement mg/day/62kg adult | Nine Large Baked Potatoes |
|---|---|---|
| Tryptophan | 248 | 565 |
| Threonine | 930 | 1830 |
| Isoleucine | 1240 | 1830 |
| Leucine | 2418 | 2691 |
| Lysine | 1860 | 2933 |
| Methionine + Cystine | 930 | 1534 |
| Tryptophan | 248 | 565 |
| Phenylalanine + Tyrosine | 1550 | 3553 |
| Valine | 1612 | 2682 |
| Histidine | 620 | 942 |
