Maybe they’re called "magical fruit" in children’s rhymes for a reason . . .
Just not for the flatulence-producing reasons kids obsess about. What really makes beans magical is their potential effect on your waistline: Bean eaters weigh less on average than non-bean-imbibing folks do.
Bean Counting
In fact, bean eaters weigh as much as 6.6 pounds less, according to RealAge expert John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine. Makes sense when you consider beans are full of fiber and protein but low in fat, which means a serving will keep you going far beyond the need-to-munch hour but only make a minor dent in your calorie intake. You'll find protein, fiber, and folate in beans, as well as these surprising health helpers: antioxidants.
The darkest-colored beans have the most. Top antioxidant content, in order: black, red, brown, yellow, and white.
