Can you cite that? I just read it and found these two quotes: Finally, soaking does absolutely nothing to reduce the gas-producing properties of beans.

Can you cite that? I just read it and found these two quotes: Finally, soaking does absolutely nothing to reduce the gas-producing properties of beans. It was thought that soaking beans in cold water leached these sugars out of the bean. Throw away the water and you throw away the gas -- it has a simple appeal. Unfortunately, it isn't true. These sugars are part of what the bean uses for nourishment as it grows into a plant, and the bean does not part with them gladly.
