Thank you so much for sharing this information. As the article notes, toxins in the beans are removed by boiling. Thankfully, most modern slow cookers do get hot enough to bring beans to a boil, and if the beans are at the boiling point for at least 10 minutes, then there's no concern.

My slow cooker gently boils beans for several hours.

To be safe, one should check one's slow cooker to make sure it gets hot enough to boil beans.

I should have mentioned this in my post. Thank you for pointing it out. :) I’ll edit to make this clear.

They believe the slow cooker doesn't reach high enough temperatures to kill the toxins.
