Dr. Oz said that all the nutrients are in the skin of fruits, so you shouldn't peel them0

From the American Dietetic Association: "When compared ounce for ounce, potato skin has more nutrients that the rest of the potato. Potato skin contains B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium and other nutrients. Potato skin also provides lots of fiber, about 2 grams per ounce. If you eat a medium baked potato, including the skin, you'll get nearly 4 grams of fiber, 2 milligrams of iron and 926 grams of potassium. Be sure to wash the potato well and remove any obvious blemishes before cooking."0

^ Although it's true this time, please don't mention Dr.Oz as a credible source for anything >.< hahahaha
Anyway, my family has always eaten it either way. As long as the potato has been thoroughly cleaned, eating the skin is not a problem at all0 -

He's a quack. He gives too many "quick fixes" and "miracle" tips to be credible0 -

Maybe the question should be "WHY NOT" eat the skin! I think its the best part!0

I agree...He featured "Grean Coffee Extract" and called it a miricle cure, Loose weight eating what you want and without changing your activity! Seriously thats enough quack for me! Just because Oprah created him doesn't make him a credible source.^ Although it's true this time, please don't mention Dr.Oz as a credible source for anything >.< hahahaha
