sweet potatoes vs yams

[slowflowpro]

ok, so i have been buying sweet potatoes and cooking them in the microwave, which isnt a problem, but i'm looking for an alternative. would it be the same or very similar from a nutrition perspective to buy the big cans of yams and eating those? i know they are processed and are canned in a major syrup, but what about rinsing them prior to heating?

thoughts?

Fresh yams are better than canned. And I thought sweet potatoes and yams were the same thing.

Good carb choice regardless. I prefer rice or ezekiel bread but that's just my preference.
