Honest question
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)
- 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)
