I heard that the sweet potato is lower in carbs then a regular potato.
and as you said it is VERY good for you!
Just do not slather it all up with Butter and you will be just fine!
I have about 1 or 2 a week.
Also being high in potasium, they help with the hurty muscles after exercise.

Sweet potatos and yams are amazing foods and very low on the glycemic index.

"Not all carbohydrate foods are created equal, in fact they behave quite differently in our bodies. The glycemic index or GI describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss."

I like to bake them and then put a little cinnamon on them. They are really good cold too.
