Peas, Potatoes and Corn are NOT part of your 5 a day choices.

Well according to a recent study.

Now I have peas and potatoes several times a week and always counted them as 1 of my 5 a day. Now I can't count on them.

Corn I can do without unless it's in stired fried rice.

So what do you all think of this study?

Are you shocked that the poor little pea no longer counts. I am as I eat a lot of them weekly.

I'm still counting them as 1 of my 5. Comprehensive Account Security

I've always assumed potatoes weren't due to their high carbohydrate content but peas and corn? I'll continue to count them as vegetables and ignore the latest study.
edit to add: I remember being told butter was really bad for us now its not. Then eggs were bad due to having lots of cholesterol but now they say they're good for us.

You should eat whatever you want T ,regardless of the study !

I personally find peas disgusting. I also don't follow any 5 a day rules. It's me either eating purely junk or eating purely fruit.

But,good riddance to peas then..they are really yuky... O_o

Honestly I'm surprised that the pea was ever considered to be part of the 5 a day, and spuds nutritional value depends totally on how they're prepared.

Scouse said :
Keep me out of this argument, i still class 5 grapes as my daily quota!

Much love

Scouse - Lover of chocolate covered raisons.

lol I have grapes daily as I buy them for my parrots. I eat about 15 or so. Love them.

I eat a lot more peas though.

My diet it good and varied and changes with the seasons. Now Spring is sooooo close I checked my Rhubarb and it's showing signs of growing. Thats another I'll be eating soon.

Everyone is right eat what you like in moderation. Which I do and will do for years till I change my diet again.

Still in shock over a little pea that no longer counts.

I say stuff the advice eat what toy want. No where is that McDonads and Burger King recipie. :P

PS. Just joking about Burger King. It's 20 miles round trip away lol. :@ Comprehensive Account Security
