The serum metabolites identified in these controlled feeding studies were then investigated in 212 polyp‐free participants from the Polyp Prevention Trial who self‐reported either increased (≥+31 g/day from baseline), high dry bean intake of ≥42 g/day in year 3 or low, unchanged dry bean consumption of <8 g/day; serum was analyzed from baseline and year 3. Serum pipecolic acid and <italic>S</italic>‐methyl cysteine were elevated after dry bean consumption in human and mouse studies and reflected dry bean consumption in the Polyp Prevention Trial.</p> </sec> <sec id="mnfr2330-sec-0030" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusion</title> <p>Serum levels of pipecolic acid and <italic>S</italic>‐methyl cysteine are useful biomarkers of dry bean consumption.</p> </sec> </abstract>
