In response to John Cottingham's "semi-flame", let me say that I have *never* tried to suggest that people do or not do something as far as managing their own lives. I just do not operate that way. When a patient of mine needs an operation, I usually wait until they *ask* for the surgery (unless it is an emergency). Same with fava beans. If someone wants to take a risk, that's fine with me (there are risks to everything, including smoking, drinking, getting a suntan, etc.). The only thing that I have wanted to communicate is that there *is* a danger, small as it is and people should be forewarned. That's my $0.02.
