"Revolutionizing Snack Food: Healthier Potato Chips Unveiled by MSU Researchers"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered a gene that causes potatoes to convert starch into sugar in cold weather, leading to less healthy chips and fries. By identifying the specific gene responsible for this process, they have uncovered a way to switch it off, potentially leading to the development of CIS-resistant potato genes that could produce healthier potato products. This discovery could have significant implications for food quality and health worldwide.
