Why does eating soybeans make you fart?

Many people like to eat soybeans, which are also a very common legume in our daily life. Many people like to eat soybeans, and soybeans can often be seen in people’s lives. Soy milk is also made from soybeans. Squeezing soybeans into soy milk is good for the human body. However, if you only eat soybeans, you may get a sore throat easily. Some people even fart after eating soybeans. Why does this happen?

Soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc. contain starch, which is converted into glucose in the body. Glucose is eventually oxidized and decomposed into water, carbon dioxide and energy in the body. Carbon dioxide cannot be used by the human body and is excreted in various ways, and fart is one of them.

It may also be caused by intestinal flora imbalance. In terms of diet, it is recommended that you eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. When eating, you should chew slowly to avoid swallowing too much air. Foods that easily produce gas should also be avoided. Drinking a glass of yogurt every day can help change the gastrointestinal bacteria.

When we eat foods that contain carbohydrates that cannot be fully absorbed by the intestines (such as beans), these unabsorbed components ferment in the intestines and produce a lot of gas. When the gas accumulates too much, it "explodes" and is released, which is called "farting". The gas is composed on average of 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 4% oxygen, and sometimes some hydrogen sulfide (which smells like rotten eggs).

Many people fart after eating soybeans, but they still like to eat soybeans. In fact, it is very common to fart after eating soybeans. Farting is a way of detoxification, so don't feel ashamed. If you really don't want to fart, you can eat less soybeans or not eat them at all, or you can drink soy milk made from soybeans, and then you won't fart anymore.
