However, you will find green
beans, snow peas, and sugar-snap
peas on our shopping list, despite
the fact that they are botanically
legumes. Confused? Let us
explain. Potentially disruptive
compounds are found in the seeds
of legumes—but green beans,
snow peas, and sugar-snap peas
are an immature seed wrapped in
a big, green plant pod. Since what
you’re eating is mostly pod (not
seed), we don’t think these three
legumes have the same issues as
the others. Besides ... if green
beans are the worst thing in your
diet, you’re doing OK.Finally, an all-too-common refrain from
clients, readers, and workshop attendees is,
“But I don’t like vegetables!” You want to
know what we tell them?
