Americans are afraid of farting but everyone else knows this is the secret to a long life.

Exactly this. My significant other avoids all beans due to the fear of flatulence

There is an actual study disproving that myth (that beans increase flatulence).

The issue is that so few are used to actually eating enough fiber, that they might have a temporary increase in gas when they introduce more for the first time.

My SO hated me eating beans until I discovered that walmart sells a generic bean-o for far less than the name brand. Your loved ones dont have to suffer that fate

What’s Beano? The only Beano I know is this weird ass British comic book that my grandma gave me.

It’s a pill that has an enzyme in it that breaks down the complex carbs in beans and veggies so that you can fully digest them without getting the farts.

Beans are good. I’m from Texas and there are a lot of people here who think chili with beans isn’t real chili. They’re full of shit (beans’d help with that too)

I eat them multiple times a day. I have absolutely zero problems with gas.

Once your gut bacteria gets used to having fiber, it’s all good 👌
