Abstract
The flatulent effect of beans is universally known and has, undoubtedly, been a source of discomfort throughout history. It has even been proposed as an explanation for Pythagoras' otherwise puzzling ban on the eating of beans by the members of the philosophical school which he founded in Ancient Greece. It would be incorrect to imagine, however, that the problem is now of little social concern beyond the school playground, within which it is the topic of countless jokes and speculations.
