Refried and other canned beans: Healthy or not?
Dear Alice,
Two questions:
1) How does one know when they need a nutritionist?
2) If refried beans are so fatty and bad, does this mean that regular out of a can beans are too?
Thanks,

Overcooked pasta and beans — Still nutritious?
Dear Alice,
I know if I cook vegetables too long, they would lose nutrients. How about pasta and beans? Do they lose their carbohydrates and proteins and other nutrients in them if I cook too long? I always cook pasta and beans for over an hour because I like nice and soft and plumed pastas and beans. Am I eating zero nutritious pasta and beans?

Foods plentiful in potassium
Dear Alice,
What foods are rich in potassium besides bananas?
Beans cause gassy discomfort — Any relief?
Dear Alice,
I have been searching for natural and/or dietary sources of galactosidase enzyme, the enzyme found in BEANO.
BEANO derives it from the mold, Aspergillus Niger, I understand. But, since BEANO is so expensive I was trying to find ways to get around buying it. I am convinced that there are natural sources out there that would help.
Thanks,
