Interesting. I've avoided them because they're too processed for my tastes. Plus, I believe the whole protein thing is overblown and they're not necessary. Look up Christopher Gardner on YouTube for some great rants on how Americans are over-obsessed with protein. He's a Stanford nutrition researcher. I also saw something this morning that in the Blue Zones, where people live the longest, there isn't a huge amount of protein in their diets

Can you just give us a hint - yes or no? My doctor told me not to have them since he wants me to avoid processed foods and protein shakes and products are processed.

I read it.. I think the gist of it was more no than yes, although it wasn't absolute. My vote is to listen to your doctor on this one

Fritzy, it's a definite NO.

Writing, you are correct. People in the blue zones eat a high carb diet, but they may also get much of their proteins from plants, such as legumes.

Indeed, they do, shirfleur. Beans are involved in the diets of a lot of long-lived populations
