Can the sweet potato sprout still be eaten

Male  34 years old 2018-06-25
The sweet potato at home has been bought for a long time. Today I want to eat it and take a look at the sprouts. I heard that potatoes can’t be eaten if they grow sprouts. It will produce toxins in them. People will get food poisoning if they eat it. ?

    After sprouting, sweet potatoes will not produce harmful ingredients like potatoes, as long as the buds on the sweet potatoes are removed, it can be eaten, and there will be no legendary symptoms of poisoning. After the sprouts of sweet potatoes are lost due to a large amount of nutrients and water, they will not only taste bad, but also lose their edible value. As for the claim that eating sprouted sweet potatoes will be poisoned, there is no basis and is unscientific. It is purely a misunderstanding in life. Nutritionists believe that sweet potatoes are not only nutritious foods, but also have therapeutic effects on many diseases.
