How can something so bad for humans, be so good?  

Quoting from (of all things) the AARP magazine:

"Beans, beans, they're good for your heart.  A Tulane Univ. study found that those who ate beans, peas, or other legumes at least four times a week had a 22% lower risk of heart disease than those who ate them less than once a week.  Bean eaters also had lower blood pressure. "

Sigh.  If the lectins in hard beans are so harmful, why are they so helpful?
