This article doesn't inform if sweet potato can/should be eaten raw, instead of boiled.-- MisterSanderson ( talk) 19:58, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Hypervitaminosis A is caused by ingesting too much vitamin A. The difference between a recommended intake and a toxic intake is not very great. A Wikipedia article says that taking in excessive amounts of beta-carotene will not cause hypervitaminosis as the body regulates its conversion to Vitamin A. On the other hand, the body cannot protect itself against ingesting too much actual Vitamin A, which will cause hypervitaminosis.
The second table in the article indicates that sweet potatoes have very high levels of vitamin A per portion, nearly three times the upper daily dose limit even in as little as 100g. Is this true? Does it really contain actual vitamin A, or only the harmless precursors such as beta-carotene? 92.3.54.10 ( talk) 12:42, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
I do believe that sweet potato is actually one word - sweetpotato. - Indy beetle ( talk) 20:36, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
