		<description>This is very interesting! I&#039;ve always been wary of beans for this reason, so it&#039;s interesting to hear more about it. I&#039;ve also enjoyed the following article: http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/12/05/beans-and-gas-clearing-the-air/ Presents similar information in a funny way, yet is also scientific-based. Good stuff!</description>

		<description>Happy to be back too! Sorry to hear that about your gallbladder. Glad you are feeling better. 

I have heard that too, that some people don&#039;t do well with peppers. It could be the fiber (people who otherwise get very little fiber), or the fact that bell peppers also contain oligosaccharides. Some people might also be sensitive to bell peppers (you can be sensitive to almost anything) which might lead to bloating, although that would probably be rare.

Yes, beans are definitely have some health benefits and can be part of a healthy diet! They contain lots of fiber, valuable minerals and vitamins and lots of antioxidants (the darker the bean the more antioxidants). Green beans are very healthy as well.  In nutrition green beans are looked at as a vegetable and beans/legumes are counted as a &quot;meat&quot;. So while they are definitely related (green beans are the unripe fruit of the bean plant, while the &quot;bean&quot; is the large seed of the bean plant.) they are different nutritionally. Green beans who count as a vegetable are lower in calories (lower in protein and carbs) and contain lots of different vitamins and minerals. Both can be part of a healthy diet.</description>

		<description>Thank you Georgie! Mhh I love beans and legumes, making me hungry with your list! 

Haha, I always slept with my window open in Switzerland (for other reasons...) and I hate how I can&#039;t open the windows here sometimes because of the AC.</description>

		<description>I am so happy you are back!                                                                                  I had a terrible time with gas until I had my gall bladder removed.  There has to have been a connection, &amp; with other health issues.  I&#039;ve heard that green peppers, (sweet, capsium (sp?) can be a problem.  Bean are generally a plus in our diets, aren&#039;t they?  Of course, there must be a significant difference between dried beans and string beans etc.  Maybe they really are not related?</description>
