Navy Beans

-1.2

Navy beans provide resistant starch and soluble fiber that support gut bacteria and reduce inflammatory markers, though they may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.

Ingredient score breakdown

Resistant Starch

-0.6

Fermented by gut bacteria into anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids that strengthen intestinal barrier function.

Soluble Fiber

-0.4

Slows glucose absorption and feeds beneficial microbiota, reducing systemic inflammation.

Polyphenols

-0.2

Plant compounds that neutralize oxidative stress and modulate immune response.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

High in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which can trigger bloating and gas in those with IBS or FODMAP sensitivity.
