A few days ago I did a good deed by serving food at the local soup kitchen. I did not prepare the food and the cook made chili. he cooked the sauce and meat and forgot to add the beans. supper was already late so he decided to add the soaked uncooked beans to it. he claimed it was safe. I whispered a warning to the people eating and most of them picked the beans out however some ate the beans. can this cause health problems?

You just increased the homeless flatulence problem exponentially.
Seriously, The proteins will not break down if uncooked and will go to the intestines largely undigested where bacteria will turn them into METHANE GAS!
WATCH OUT!!!

As long as the beans were washed well before being soaked there shouldn't be a problem. If (and that's a big if) the beans contained any germs or bacteria, these were probably killed when the cook added them to the hot chili. I do think however that you should inform someone who is in charge of the soup kitchen that the cook did this.....next time it could be something that would make people sick.

Kidney beans: Toxicity: Before they are eaten, the raw bean seeds should be boiled for at least ten minutes to degrade a toxic compound - the lectin phytohaemagglutinin - found in the bean which would otherwise cause severe gastric upset. This compound is present in many varieties (and in some other species of bean), but is especially concentrated in red kidney beans and white kidney beans (Cannellini beans). Although in the case of dry beans the ten minutes required to degrade the toxin is much shorter than the hours required to fully cook the beans themselves, outbreaks of poisoning have been associated with the use of slow cookers whose low cooking temperatures may be unable to degrade the toxin. Sprouts of pulses high in haemaglutins should not be eaten. Kidney beans, especially, should not be sprouted. Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy.

Were they still HARD?
They will probably have some bad intestinal cramps if the beans weren't cooked completely, because they are hard to digest unless they have been boiled for several hours.
Beans get their bad reputation of causing gas (farts) because many people eat them either without cooking them enough, or by letting them ferment for too long.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

None other than chipped teeth from biting into uncooked beans.

Probably safe, but hard to chew. Health problems?, seriously doubt it except for gas produced later.
