Washing your beans may help but the reason I was told that beans cause wind is because the skins are almost impossible for the gut to digest – great roughage but will always cause gases to be produced. Correct me if I’m wrong someone. Sometimes good health demands a little commitment to the cause. The end justifies the means……or should I say beans.
Why is it no one comments about eating right for one’s blood type.Case in point kidney beans may be good for lowering Blood Pressure but is not right for those in Blood Group O Category.
Adolphus, I have never heard that. I will do more research. As a Diabetic, I cook a variety of beans; 2 kinds each week. I store the extras in the freezer. It is nice to look in the freezer & find at lease 3 different types of beans, and sometimes more than that. I am research types of foods, seasonings, herbs, edibles, which naturally lower blood sugars, or, blood pressure currently. There is quite a list for either subject & I want MORE on the lists!
I have Christians program for lowering blood pressure & being an LPC, have used many treatments such as his. I am re-reading the program in preparaton for using the CD regularly. I need a CD player; maybe today. I have great respect for Blue Heron Health News and their research/writers.
This article on beans was interesting. I was surprised there were not more types of beans listed. I just made a photo copy of a huge amount of heirloom beans, and boy are they beautiful. I never dreamed there were that many different beans in this world, or that one company had them all. georgia
Is there any scientific evidence regarding blood group O and the fact that they should not eat beans?And if so what is the reasoning behind it? I am of that bloodgroup and do eat a lot of beans and it has not bothered me.

Great information for everyone!
The beans that Jamie Oliver are showing are the original Heinz canned baked beans. These are quite a different recipe that the USA or Canadian Baked bean that contains lots of fats and more sugar by way of Maple syrup etc. The British baked beans are less sweet and more tomato flavoured. They’re in a Turquoise can and often available in the Ero section at Walmart. All shops that sell British food stock will keep this brand. Try them and you’ll never go back to USA beans.
fermented beans better? I heard
Sprouting beans before eating will improve the health benefits and reduce the side effects.
for reducing the gas of beans, you add 10cc apple vinegar to beanss during making it., masumeh
I like beans and thanks for the site, so true. Been eating beans all my life and now since do not consume beef I continue, am a believer in beans, thanks. Jackie
Does it not cause excess uric acid in the body by eatig too much beans, esp. the dry ones? Please advise.
Kidney red beans are commonly used in chili soup chili con carne and are an integral part of the cuisine in northern regions of India. Red kidney beans are used in New Orleans and much of southern Louisiana for the classic Monday Creole dish of red beans and rice. The smaller, darker red beans are also used, particularly in Louisiana families with a recent Caribbean heritage. Small kidney beans used in La Rioja, Spain, are called caparrones.”:,”
