What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Greek Yogurt Every Day? Open the refrigerator of almost any health-conscious household and you may find a container of Greek yogurt. It has become one of the most popular “healthy” foods for a simple reason: Protein + probiotics + convenience. For adults over 50, that combination sounds almost perfect.

But here's the surprising question: Is the potato itself really the problem—or is it what we do to the potato? A boiled potato, french fries, potato chips, and a baked potato covered with butter and cheese all begin with the same vegetable. But nutritionally, they can become very different foods.
