One thing I learned from this article:

Lastly, there's a gastronomic use for SSKI : reducing the gas we all get from eating beans! If you're soaking beans before cooking them, add 1 or 2 drops of SSKI , and let them soak for an hour or more. (Pour offf that water before cooking, and add fresh water.) You'll be surprised at the reduction in resulting intestinal gas! (For those who want a technical explanation: There's a naturally occurring enzyme inhibitor in beans which interferes with starch digestion, producing gas. SSKI inactivates this enzyme inhibitor.)

Great information.
