Experts make flatulence-free bean
A method of creating super-nutritious but flatulence-free beans has been developed by scientists.

Beans are a cheap and key source of nutrition especially in the developing world, but many people are thought to be put off by anti-social side-effects.

A Venezuelan team says fermenting beans with certain friendly bacteria can cut the amount of wind-causing compounds, and boost beans' nutritional value.

The research appears in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.

2. Does that mean that beans are no longer the magical fruit?

And are they still good for the heart?

3. What will the kids chant?

Beans beans
They're good for your heart
The more you eat them
No need to fart?

Beans, beans
They're good for your heart;
The more you eat
The more soluble fiber you consume, which can be instrumental in reducing LDL and triglyceride levels.
