your evolution is not able to keep up with that.

So we basically said, well, if we could get the microbes from the environment,

that know how to break down the foods that are here locally, then we would actually be able to process and digest those foods.

So what happens is the microbiome breaks down the fiber, the resistant starches and the polyphenols for us.

Interesting.

So our body and our stomach can't break down the nutrients in beans.

So beans are not just these three things, but what I'm saying is I'm calling beans microbiome foods because they're the most densely packed of these things.

Like go look at the fiber content of beans, right?

and you're gonna be like yo there's a lot of fiber in there right right well so what i'm saying is that you are a hundred percent dependent on your microbiome to digest that fiber interesting so if the microbiome is not ready for that that's conceptually similar to going to the gym and just like grabbing way more weight than your body sure you hurt yourself

So have a few beans, not a whole plate of beans maybe to start.

Work your way towards it.

Like I'm in a place now today where I can smash beans as hard as I want to with no issues.

No gas.

I'm farting like crazy.

But not in a bad way because basically, okay, there are some benefits to farting.

Really?

Yep, 100%.

Besides releasing gas and feeling better, what is the benefit to farting?

The gas that is being produced when you, like for that kind of fart, a bean fart.

Yes.
