The last time I tested after beans and franks I was 89 at 2 hrs, that
was Joan of Arc chili beans tho, I don't add bbq sauce to it. I only eat
half of the beans and have the rest the next day, I'm not a glutton.

Pinto beans are much higher on the ORAC scale than white beans but they
both have about the same amount of soluble fiber, protein, vitamins and
minerals.

What meds do you take and what kind of exercise?

I love chili beans but most have so much sugar in them I can only eat two
bites at a time. I wish I could recreate that sauce with no sugar. But
I've yet to see a recipe.

What is an ORAC scale?

The only rx meds I take are for blood pressure. I do about 50 pushups
twice day, I did 102 today. Navy beans have the most fiber, a good bit
more than pintos.

It's a way of measuring the total antioxidants in foods, some of which
may do nothing in the human body. Spices have the highest rating, I
think clove is highest. I put a whole clove in when I make ice tea.
