Beans - Beneficial Response for Metabolic Syndrome Patients

Beans - all jokes aside - have been known to be an excellent source of dietary fiber. In a recent study in the journal "Appetite," it was shown that black beans, when served to men and women with metabolic syndrome, produced excellent results in regard to postprandial insulin - better results than were obtained when fiber supplementation was offered.

These findings suggest that incorporating whole black beans into a meal has acute beneficial metabolic and GI hormone responses in adults with metabolic syndrome and are preferred over adding equivalent amounts of fiber from a supplement.

Terrible study, way too starchy causes spikes in glucose.
I only eat non-starchy vegetables so much better for me. I know beans are legumes something I don't eat.
