"While some extracts of the African potato in purified forms are helpful, some are harmful as (they) suppress the bone marrow. In some cases this traditional potato has the potential to interfere with certain types of ARVs, lowering the treatment's effectiveness by up to 80 percent," Kasongo said at the Nutrition Congress held in Port Elizabeth last week.
