"Pulses are good for people, and are good for soils," Eduardo Mansur, the head of FAO's land and water division, said today at an event that highlighted the promising future of edible seeds such as lentils, chickpeas and pigeon peas, all often neglected in the shadow of the world's major staple grains.
The meta-analysis made by St Michael’s Hospital studied 940 participants from 21 various clinical trials. The research found that one serving of pulses caused an average loss of 0.34 kilogramme, or 0.75 pounds, over six weeks. There was no effort by the participants to cut other foods, reports CTVNews.
