dryheat3··on Can you stop beans from making you gassy?
Pretty much, yep. The point is to neutralize the indigestible sugars through chemical or enzymatic action. So there should be a solution to any given type of food which causes gas. Just need to find the right trigger.

Side note… Fermentation is a technique humans used for millennia, but modern technology has replaced that with methods that fail to neutralize those indigestible elements. So I also use lacto fermentation on various foods.

They become much darker in color but I have not noticed a change in flavor. I discovered this technique from an episode of America’s Test Kitchen on PBS.

I consume legumes daily and found that using baking soda completely eliminated gaseous emissions from them. For lentils, I soak 20 g in water with 1/4 tsp baking soda for a hour. Then discard the liquid before cooking. For refried black beans I first bring 65 g of beans to simmer then add 1/4 tsp baking soda and stir briskly.

Once I implemented this protocol I found that onions and prunes were also causing gas. Seems any stone fruit gives me gas because this also happens with apricots. I haven’t found a way to fix the stone fruit. But the onions can be fixed by heating them with lime juice before consuming.

Hope that helps.

Might want to explore “Agenda 2030”. I don’t know for certain if it applies to this specific issue. But it does hint at a coordinated effort to build a completely new framework for managing the human species through technology.

"Thinking out loud”… that’s how I view the process of writing code. I start with a concept, then think my way through the solution by writing code.
dryheat3··on SanDisk Extreme Pro failures result from design flaw, says researcher
Not the same series. "Extreme Go" is not the same product as "Extreme Pro". I have two of these from Costco and they have worked fine for several years.

lol. Sure, as long as you don’t have to report to a job everyday. Very few have the privilege of adjusting their sleep/wake cycle to correspond with the changing seasons.
