No probiotics were necessary, as the navy beans provided prebiotic fibers that grew the already existing beneficial gut bacteria that were previously greatly minimized in the trial participants.

Various fibers can be quite helpful to our bodies.

Some friends who are diabetic have found that replacing potatoes and rice with beans in their diet greatly helps in maintaining a healthy blood sugar concentration.

Like they say ...

Beans, beans, good for your heart ...

It's not a beans conversation until you quote Blazing Saddles...

If you define “good gut health” as “having the bacteria that process fiber”, then OF COURSE eating fiber is good.

But...is fiber actually good for anything?

As someone who has eaten a very low fiber diet - almost fiber-free - for years, I don’t know what the benefits would include.

Good to know. I love beans, and it’s time for a crockpot full of pinto beans with ham hocks now that the weather has finally cooled off.

The Army, Air Force and Marines are claiming discrimination. No word yet from the Coast Guard.

My grandmother made the most excellent navy bean soup. She grew up on a farm, cooking for a big table of field hands, and continued after she got married cooking for weekly big suppers at the church.

In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cookin’ means
In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans

Beans!

Beans are your friends, your ONLY friends.

“Remember you need butyrate producing bacteria in your gut because butyrate is the preferred fuel for the cells that line your gut.

It was once thought of as the only fuel for gut epithelial cells. But in vitro research has shown this to not be true.

Although it is true that butyrate can be produced from the fermentation of dietary fiber and that it can enter the gut’s epithelial cells and be oxidized in the mitochondria. This is not the optimal nutrient source, due to other factors that cause problems downstream.

A better option is the use of protein fermentation, where you are able to get iso butyrate which has the same signaling function and can be used in epithelial cells, with no sub-optimal downstream effects.

There is also evidence that ketones can enter from the basal lateral side (from the side facing the bloodstream)

This is why fiber was once thought of as the only source able to supply short chain fatty acids but this we now know is not true.”
