Americans are afraid of farting but everyone else knows this is the secret to a long life.

Exactly this. My significant other avoids all beans due to the fear of flatulence

There is an actual study disproving that myth (that beans increase flatulence).

The issue is that so few are used to actually eating enough fiber, that they might have a temporary increase in gas when they introduce more for the first time.
