> > Bob, who wants to be "full of beans"???? seriously, I have heard the same Just a quick reminder. Remember that there are some people (usually of Mediterranean ancestry) who may be missing an enzyme in their bodies which cannot metabolize a substance which occurs in fava beans. Such individuals will get "Favism" and can develop severe blood problems which, along with other problems, can be very serious. Carbidopa and Levodopa are best (and more safely) obtained through prescribed medicine. Best, Bob *********************************** ROBERT A. FINK, M. D., F.A.C.S.
