Abstract

We read with interest the article published by Amaro, which shows that there is an increase of leukocytes to manage beets in albino mice of the species Mus musculus Balb / c (1) strain. We want to share the results of a study that bean (Vicia faba L.), a plant that has the role in the diet of rural and urban dwellers for its contribution in proteins characteristic of all legume was used, and for their contribution carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins. The importance of this kind is increasing because food is also involved with the products of the crop in the feeding of cattle, sheep, pigs and guinea pigs, as well as improving soil fertility, increasing yields of other crops that happen in rotation (2).
