  • It really depends where the food is from. Lithium isn’t used to amend soil in large amounts as far as I know so it would mostly be from natural sources (there are studies about lithium battery dumps releasing lithium into the soil and water too). You could have a potato with undetectable amounts of lithium or a potato that was grown near a lithium mine and watered with the river water contaminated by the mine as well, maybe a battery dump close by too, you would have high amounts.








  • I only recall the guy that did it for 60 days but he had to eat 7-8 pounds of potatoes a day to hit minimum protein requirements. His health markers were also very misleading because he went into the experiment as an unhealthy person. His bloodwork showed improvement because he was only eating potatoes rather than junk. Potatoes don’t have fat, so you’re not getting any essential omegas and along with the B12, there is little to none of: A, D, E, K, B2, B7, selenium, calcium, zinc, and a couple essential aminos

    Those deficiencies would lead to muscle wasting, loss of sight, hormone imbalances, weak bones, permanent nerve damage etc.

    If you put someone who is in good health on a potato diet for a year, even with B12, they would likely be looking at multiple organ failure by the end of that year
