Study claims beans don’t make you fart after all.
By Seriously Science | April 18, 2018 6:00 am


Beans, beans, the musical fruit! The more you eat, the more you toot! Well, not according to this oldie-but-goody study (published in 1984, doubleplusgood!). Here, scientists had 12 men eat kidney beans for 23 days and measured how much they farted. It turns out that the gas quantity didn’t change during that time, no matter if the men typically ate a lot of beans or not. However, the longer they ate the beans, the better they felt (less discomfort). So let’s eat beans for every meal!

Bull$hit!

Personal experience directly contradicts this study. When I eat a bowl of pintos with nothing else, I fart like crazy, which is one reason the wife limits how much we make them........

That study is nothing more than non frontier gibberish.

Kidney beans are different from other beans.  I would say that the worst offenders are pinto  beans.

They really should gather the study's authors in a small, hermetically sealed room with no windows and no fans and make them each eat a big heaping bowl of leguminous vegetables and then sit for two hours. Let's see what they think then.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
