Swordsman,

are you going to use science to help you eat wisely..

or are you going to listen to idiots like THIS who already said they don't care how long they live?

me too! sometimes i'll eat 2 servings worth (usually a full can) which is like 130% of the daily fiber needed and then drink 2 or 3 glasses of water to make sure it gets through the system ok

PMID: 8644684: Comparison of the effects of diets enriched in lauric, palmitic, or oleic acids on serum lipids and lipoproteins in healthy women and men.

We conclude that both lauric and palmitic acids are hypercholesterolemic compared with oleic acid. Lauric acid raises total cholesterol concentrations more than palmitic acid, which is partly due to a stronger rise in HDL cholesterol.

Coconut oil is 47% Lauric acid, 18% Myristic and 9% Palmitic acid..

worse than BEEF!

maybe you don't care what your cholesterol is.. start jugging it LOL

"FULL CAN"??? poor thing

I would buy dry black beans but there is supposedly no nutritional difference.

A full can in one sitting is a decent amount of beans, if you eat more than that than my hat is off to you and I pray no one has to sleep with you that night if you know what I mean

I think most anything in a can is loaded with sodium. Not a good thing.

Beans are also good for some protein...chick peas are my favorite.

You are right, excellent point.

Hippocrates said 25 centuries ago, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."

Quote from maxpi:

Those are all good. What I found is that there are nutrients that you cannot have enough of from food.

There is little scientific evidence to back this up. On the contrary, studies usually find the benefit of a certain vitamin/mineral/whatever only works when gotten from food. Often, it is far more bioavailable in food and they often find that the nutrient is only one of many others in a food that are little understood.
