Why Fava Beans Can Kill You

[@sngscratcher]

It must be a rare occurrence. Never heard of anyone dying from eating fava bean. My family and I love them, as well as tens of millions of other people!

[@McMan777]

Fun fact: "I ate his Fava Beans, with some liver and a nice chianti". The reason Hannibal says this is because the anti-psychotic medications he's on react poorly with both fava beans and chianti similar to as discussed in the video.

[@xFirebird925x]

So does that mean Hannibal was sort of...........suicidal? (idk because I never read the book or watched the movies through fully)

[@starfall0]

I think the hint was that he was not taking his medications (as he would've known about the interaction being a psychiatrist)

[@soulassassin0g]

Should've it be "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti"?

[@McMan777]

@@soulassassin0g yes, lmao. I mix up words a lot.

[@scottleggejr]

It's the opposite. Chloroquines are derivatives of Methylthioninium chloride, which acts as an SSRI. Favism and G6PD are recommended to not take these drugs due to interactions. If you're on SSRI, and/or G6PD/favism, you're recommended to not take these types of drugs.

He swapped the letters in the name, because he also swapped 'liver' with 'fava beans' in the quote. Silence of the Lambs would have been a very different film if he'd just eaten someone elses beans.

[@myuu22]

I don't think it was autocorrect at all. I also think he did it on purpose. He switched the "fava beans" and the "liver", which means that it wasn't actually a quote from Hannibal Lecter. That's why he had to choose a slightly different name.

[@Konatsweet]

My brother has favism and I am a carrier (thank you xx chromosomes). When we were little, we couldn't even go near fava bean plants because there was the possibility he could get anaphylactic shock and possibly die. Once he almost ate something that had fava beans in it and had to be rushed to the hospital. I am quite surprised scishow made a video on it as it is so rare, even my GP didn't know what it was when I told her.

[@6710345]

Konata's Sweets as someone who has favism, what did the doctors do that helped your brother? I've this fear of accidentally eating fava beans, so i just wanna know what do i do if i do eat them

[@Konatsweet]

mohit gurnani to be honest I am not completely sure what to do. I would suggest though to have epinephrine (epi-pen) or something of the similar in case you were to go into anaphylactic shock and to have the ambulance on speed dial. I would recommend that you ask your doctor as I'm not one 😀

[@6710345]

ok I'll do that i guess! thanks anyway

[@skinbynurseleslie]

Konata's Sweets 👋🏽 Hi there, I'm a carrier as well and passed it on to one of my two sons. Surprisingly, neither of my 2 brothers have it, even though there's a 50/50 chance of a male son of a carrier being born with the deficiency. But exposure to a trigger is not really considered an "allergic reaction" that an epinephrine dose would cure. As he's describing in the video, the reaction is called "hemolytic anemia" which means deficiency of red blood cells due to them breaking down, which is caused by being exposed to things like fava beans. I hope your brother continues to stay away from those triggers. Peace and blessings to you both! 🙏🏽

It's concerning how many doctors know nothing about G6PD considering how common it is. Only about half of the doctors I've visited had even heard of this condition before. This means there are large populations of patients who aren't telling their doctors. Who don't know they have the condition. It isn't just beans that cause problems for people with G6PD. There's a long list of medications, foods, and substances that can cause loss of blood. I often have reactions despite taking precautions. Usually I'm not able to determine what the cause was. Imagine regularly going through episodes of lethargy and not knowing why, or being given medication that causes a hemolytic crises, something that could have been prevented if you only had been informed of the condition. It's concerning just how little information is out there on this subject. Thanks for giving it some attention.

The fact that this is the no.1 recommendation on YT when you type in ‘broad beans’ tells me there has to be some very good health/environmental/economical benefits.

Thank you for this video!!! 💕My son has G6PD-deficiency. I have known this information you described in the video since we had genetics counseling after he was diagnosed almost 10 years ago when he was born. He has a mild deficiency, but nevertheless it scared me so much that I had to learn as much as I could to protect my baby. As it turns out, it's really no big deal, for him at least. He just has to avoid his "allergens." I'm super happy to be able to share this video with him. All he really knows is that he has to avoid aspirin, pepto bismol, fava beans, henna, moth balls, and sulfa drugs, because they'll make him sick. I think he'll be interested in learning the science behind it. Cool stuff!! I wonder.... do people with G6PD-deficiency have more ROS (free radicals) in their bodies than the average person. If so, would consuming a higher amount of antioxidants be beneficial? 🤔

Glorval MacGlorvas There are people who have XY chromosomes who were born anatomically female such as those with androgen insensitivity or who were born intersex and identify as female. There are also those who were born XY and anatomically male but whose neurological gender is agender, feminine, or bigender. Because they have XY chromosomes, they are especially susceptible to favism, hemophilia, and other conditions caused by a mutation on the arm of the X chromosome that is missing on the Y chromosome. Biosex is a way of distinguishing that you're talking about chromosomes or anatomy and not neurology.

Hes not being PC, hes being specific in terms of biology. He could have said "having one x and one y chromosome" to mean the same thing, but that's a mouthful. When talking about genetic diseases, its important to specify, because someone could look 100% male on the outside, but have XX. If you have a problem with that, that's your problem. But they are male in gender (not bio sex, as gender is a social construct that has varied across different cultures and time periods), so its important to specify that Male in this case means biologically, not societally. Science educators aren't about judgment, they're about presenting the universe as we currently best understand it.

"...So you're saying...eating a bunch of fava beans can cure malaria?" "No. I just said Fava beans are delicious. And you have Malaria."

[@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter]

I think you mean "how" and not "why". "Why fava beans kill you" sounds like they have a motive.

[@75aces97]

Are you sure they don't? Just whose side are you on? 🧐🤔

[@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter]

@@75aces97 haha

[@lindav1189]

wonder what they meant by "getting innoculated"? IT made it sound like you could get innoculated against g6pd deficiency. I suffer from this and have required transfusions many times, not from fava beans. Only 20% of g6pd deficiency people are effected by the oxidizing chemical in fava beans, called vicine. other ixidative stressors are a long list of medications, alcohol, inhaling moth balls, infections in the body. I needed transfusions mostly due to chemicals in meds and alcoholic drinks, like the quinine in tonic water.

in italy, sardinia in particular, favism is really common, my half brother and sister both have it and their mom is sardinian, the reason why favism is so common there is because it is a small isolated... well, island, and people basically only had kids between them self so the gene spread even further.

Please explain avocado and latex allergy overlap. Why is it that if you're allergic to one, you are allergic to the other. I am deathly allergic to avocado and latex will cause me a severe, painful rash.

[@shamsulazhar]

I have to admit I've never heard of fava beans before that famous movie... you know which one. Slurrppppppppp....

[@NC-ns5se]

My husband has this but he didn't know what it was called, thank you for the fascinating video!

[@elizabethshaw734]

I have never had favism but I have had something extremely scary that you might want to showcase on one of your videos. I woke up one morning covered in petechiae and bleeding from every pore that I had and thought Oh my God I have leukemia! I walked up to the corner store and called and my husband to come from work and take me to the hospital where they kept shoving in platelets and said I was very sick but they didn't know what with. Then the hematologist came in and started yelling and everybody as to why they were giving me platelets because my body was just destroying them and my platelet count was 10. I had ITP of course I get everything strange but this was life threatening and interesting as well for people who have heard the story afterward. Nobody had ever heard of ITP and I would love to see you feature it.

[@kaylanbaby5987]

All of the women on my Father's side of the family have ITP. They've all have had complications during the birth of their children because of it. Coincidentally I suspect my son and my g6pd deficiency also comes from that side of the family.
