This statement confuses me, because it suggests that three cups of legumes in that one day (out of three) wouldn't be harmful to the kidneys.

Doesn't MWL say that you can eat as much as you want, so long as it's 'on the plan'? i've been eating a can of garbanzo beans and a can of corn a day...which is wayy over a cup. can anyone tell me where to find the restriction in the MWL book?
