Which Foods Does This Won't Hurt a Bit Call the Gassiest?

On the Farts and Hiccups episode of This Won't Hurt a Bit, the hosts say a lot of what we eat is already gaseous, and that an apple is about 20 percent gas. They also read an old chart of foods by flatogenic potential, defined there as more than 40 passages of gas a day. The examples labeled extremely flatogenic are milk and milk products, onions, carrots, beans, bananas, and wheat germ. The hosts call the article old-school and doubt that milk does that to everyone, but they agree that beans belong on the list. They mention cabbage as another food people already expect to be gassy.
