Here's the website : That explains this x-linked recessive genetic disorder of metabolism, also called favism because eating fava beans & their products causes hemolytic anemia ( the breaking of red blood cells) in people with g6pd deficiency. Anti-malarial drugs & infections from some viruses & bacteria can also cause hemolysis. See http://ghr.Nlm.Nih.Gov/condition/glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase-deficiency.
