Hi everyone,

the previous post on soya takes you to the link for the report by the BBC on Soya & infertility.  It also mentions peas and beans.  This is such a vague statement........................
does anyone know is this just green peas & the normal 'heinz' type beans or does it include all peas & beans.........butter beans, red kidney beans, split yellow peas, chick peas, to name a few, unfortunately I eat loads of all of them

Anyone got any comment please

I assumed it was normal Garden Green Peas ..... didnt really think about Butter/Baked/Chick etc until now!   
To be honest, I'm not sure, but then I'm taking this advice with a pinch of salt.  I think Peans and Beans are good for you, especially if like me you're a veggie, and I think a little won't harm you.  I also agree that its very vague .... anyone else know any more detail?

my doc said garden green peas had lots of folic acid in - so hope they are ok as have bean(!) eating loads!

I would say the same as Marielou - I eat lots of beans as I am veggie - every so often things pop up in the media - I wouldn't take too much notice until proper and full tests have been carried out. 

Remember when they said an apple was bad for you and then they said a packet of crisps wasn't as bad as an apple, then all of a sudden crisps are bad because of salt - hmmmmmmm - everything in moderation I think is fine.

I've read in several places that normal old garden peas have a contraceptive effect! The same goes for mange tout... I used to grow both in my veggie garden and sit outside in the sun and pop them out of the pod straight into my gob!

Not any more...
