Doctors reveal potential health risks associated with eating winged beans. While traditionally valued for their rich protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, recent research highlights possible adverse effects when consumed improperly or in excess. Healthcare professionals have reported gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, bloating, and diarrhea, and in rare cases, allergic reactions.

Regular consumers should consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice, especially those with health conditions or allergies. Staying informed and practicing safe food handling helps maximize benefits while minimizing risks…
