Does rinsing canned beans rinse off sugar?!


Question:

Does rinsing canned beans rinse off sugar?


Answers:
Rinse thoroughly. Beans contain indigestible sugars--indigestible by people, that is. The bacteria that live in our intestines gobble them up like candy. In exchange, the bacteria give off gases that may make you do likewise. Some of the sugar migrates from the beans to the liquid in which they've been soaked, cooked, or canned. So tossing the liquid and rinsing your canned beans helps (and cuts the salt to boot).

When you rinse the beans, you rinse off the starch, which is a carbohydrate, which turns to sugar.

yes

Rinsing the beans gets rid of the water added that thickens as the starches are released from the beans.

I dont belive so. It rinses off mainly just startchy liquid that the beans sit in, and maybe some salt.
