Honest question

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, I was reading about beans for curiosity's sake. I wanted to know if they originated in the Americas or where. This article was a delight to read in order to answer those questions. One thing stood out as unbalanced. There is a section on health concerns, but why is there not one on health benefits? After reading about the concerns, I then became curious about the benefits. This article could be further well-rounded out by answering that question, too! thank you for considering this "food" for thought. ~2025-39386-54 (talk) 01:29, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Glad you liked the article. Wikipedia has to be very careful about claiming benefits as there are medical implications. Food use is already covered. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:36, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
