Anyone? Why is rice ok - it has been shown to have enzyme inhibitors just like beans do.

Beans have never worked well with the Plan and brown rice has always worked well.they bothe contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates, but I think that it is easier to reduce the amount of these by cooking brown rice than it is with beans. For people who would like to reduce up to 96% of these in the rice, here's a good article - http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/04/01/phytic-acid-in-rice-reduced-96-w...

I haven't seen it to be necessary, but for those interested, it's available.

On the other hand, it's harder to reduce the enzyme inhibitors and phytates in beans. Here's an article on that - http://www.rebuild-from-depression.com/soaking-beans


In the end, I've never seen beans work well on the Plan and people usually go back and do the Plan as written.
