Beans are very difficult to digest and contain many anti-nutrients like lectins and phytic acid. Peatarians are very aware of endotoxins and their effect on health and beans are likely to contribute to bad gut bacteria and endotoxin load. However, I have heard Ray Peat say that very well cooked hummus and lentils in moderation are probably fine....
Poor amino acid profile, anti nutrients and high starch would probably be the main arguments. They also tend to be poorly prepared if store bought.
Whole grains, on the other hand, always seem to cause me problems.
A bit of a tangent here, but something off-putting about beans is how inedible they are without a lot of cooking, as are most foods humans consume... I’m curious what foods are actually Peaty which are also safe to consume uncooked and unprocessed.. raw milk and fruit?
I actually find bean protein to be more satisfying than egg protein, but not meat.Just simply tastewise they can't compete with meat, eggs and cheese.
The title makes peaters look like restrictive, supreme, authoritarians.
