Dear Ashutosh. Sweet Potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates. So, the excess might lead to minor side effcets on skin or nails and may also cause Constipation. But, if you reduce the consumption, take it thrice a week or on alternate days, the side effects will begin to disappear. Excess of everything is bad, so avoid taking them in excess. If you have a history of stones in Kidneys or Bladder, then you must avoid it.
