Flatulence Chart
Since moving into a house with a better equipped kitchen I've been doing more cooking and eating a greater variety of foods. I've been eating more beans, grains, fruit, veggies...all the things we know we're supposed to eat.
The other day I was flicking through a Readers Digest 10 001 Food Facts, Chef's Secrets & Household Hints (Dr Myles H. Bader). In amongst the helpful hints was a handy flatulence chart. Which bean produces the most flatulence? You may be surprised. In ascending order, the results are:
10. Black-eyed peas
9. Lima beans (large)
8. Garbanzos/ Chickpeas
7. Lima beans (baby)
6. Great Northern beans
5. Small White beans
4. Pinto beans
3. Black beans
2. Pink beans
...And the winner is: 1. Soybeans.
I wonder if soymilk can cause the same results?

Thank you for that excellent chart.
Yes, soybeans are the worst by far.
However, it's not well known, unfortunately, that sprouting beans eliminates gas entirely.
I tried sprouting soybeans, and it worked so well, I could hardly believe it! (It's important to grow them with good hygiene, and it's a good idea to cook them some.)
