Yeah the only stuff I can find when googling plant sterols is generally good sources saying theyre good for lowering cholesterol. The only occasion its bad is if you have a rare genetic disorder.
Clevelandclinic
Pre-RFK USDA
I can't find anything on lectins being good, but that's the substance that makes the long cook time of beans necessary. Wikipedia says cooking makes them inactive and not a problem.
(Also said the guy pushing anti-lectin diets doesn't have any science to back it up, which isn't a problem for me, but I'd avoid using it as a health argument)
Interesting, the only concern with oxalates seems to be excessive amounts can hurt Calcium and Magnesium intake and cause kidney stones if eaten in excess. Says WebMD at least but you're fine so long as you're cooking your vegetables which is the case for all of that so far.
