Chickpeas (CPs) are one of the most commonly consumed legumes, especially in the Mediterranean area as well as in the Western world. Being one of the most nutritional elements of the human diet, CP toxicity and allergy have raised health concerns. CPs may contain various antinutritional compounds, including protease inhibitors, phytic acid, lectins, oligosaccharides, and some phenolic compounds that may impair the utilization of the nutrients by people. Also, high consumption rates of CPs have enhanced the allergic problems in sensitive individuals as they contain many allergens. On the other hand, beneficial health aspects of CP consumption have received attention from researchers recently. Phytic acid, lectins, sterols, saponins, dietary fibers, resistant starch, oligosaccharides, unsaturated fatty acids, amylase inhibitors, and certain bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and isoflavones have shown the capability of lowering the clinical complications associated with various human diseases. The aim of this paper is to unravel the health risks as well as health-promoting aspects of CP consumption and to try to fill the gaps that currently exist. The present review also focuses on various prevention strategies to avoid health risks of CP consumption using simple but promising ways.
鹰嘴豆是最常食用的豆类之一，尤其在地中海地区和西方世界。作为人类饮食中最具营养的元素之一，鹰嘴豆的毒性和过敏问题引发了人们对健康的担忧。鹰嘴豆可能含有多种抗营养化合物，包括蛋白酶抑制剂、植酸、凝集素、寡糖以及一些可能会妨碍人体对营养物质吸收利用的酚类化合物。此外，由于鹰嘴豆含有许多过敏原，大量食用会增加敏感个体的过敏问题。另一方面，食用鹰嘴豆对健康有益的方面最近受到了研究人员的关注。植酸、凝集素、甾醇、皂苷、膳食纤维、抗性淀粉、寡糖、不饱和脂肪酸、淀粉酶抑制剂以及某些生物活性化合物，如类胡萝卜素和异黄酮，已显示出降低与各种人类疾病相关临床并发症的能力。本文旨在揭示食用鹰嘴豆的健康风险以及促进健康的方面，并试图填补目前存在的空白。本综述还重点介绍了各种预防策略，通过简单但有效的方法来避免食用鹰嘴豆带来的健康风险。
