Why should people pop more pills, Beano or otherwise, when they can avoid eating certain things and feel great?

Are these the same scientists that put together Big Gov’s (insanely faulty) food pyramid?

People have been helping themselves using simple dietary adjustments like Docters Atkins and Agatson suggest, and they’re experiencing results beyond weight loss. Scientists tell us to avoid fat and cholesterol, yet on these diets cholesterol is lowered. Many docs are still selling that line when it turns out sugar is the culprit for high cholesterol, not cholesterol intake.

Some of us don’t like popping pills for problems, and would rather make dietary adjustments. If you want to pop pills be my guest, to each his/her own. I’m personally uncomfortable with Big Pharm’s passionate relationship with Big Gov. Too many pockets being lined.

No problem if people want to avoid foods that create problems...their choice. Just letting people who enjoy grains, there is an inexpensive remedy.

Atkins is low carb diet. So what about people who like high glycemic carbs as in grains?

You're preaching to the choir about the gov food pyramid.

As for cholesterol, see my one of my points in the long message above that nutritionists/doctors now believe it's about tryglicerides and other inflammatory intake that causes problems in the endothelium. BTW, CoQ-10 is probably one of the best heart/plaque supplements you can take - for now...as if my point about ever changing nutrition recommendations.
