[QUOTE="Fred J M, post: 246197, member: 41038"] I believe that all legumes (beans, lentils etc) have the effect of slowing down absorbtion through the gut, and they also require a lot of energy to digest - this MAY be the reason why they work at lowering blood sugar.. A bit like hard boiled eggs - one actually loses energy (or at best/worst case - depending on whether one is trying to lose or gain energy, only contribute a tiny amount) because it requires a lot of energy to digest hard boiled egg. Alas, if one is sociable, and one has a tendency to fart after eating either eggs or beans, it can somewhat restrict ones use of these foods for BS control! :roll: >> Just did a search for anything possibly relevant << [b]This article may be of interest: http://www.lodgirl.com/acjn/43-1-25.full.pdf[/b] There are many other articles related to legumes and their effect on carbohydrate and insulin action, but this was the one I could easily find which one does not have to pay for! [i]I do hate the fact that almost every "scholarly" article, even on important issues where exposure could only advance science and benefit sufferers, carry astronomical price tages (£32 for a single .pdf download, for example !)[/i] Fred.
