If you soak dry beans yourself, you rinse the liquid off that they are soaked in. Canned beans are rinsed because they are canned in the water in which they were soaked. That water is loaded with "indigestible carbohydrates"...which means more gas....so you rinse it off.

I just made the boston butt in the crockpot which was delicious. My husband puts bbq sauce on it and I just serve it over egg noodles with some of the leftover liquid with an added seasoning such as Kitchen Bouquet. Meat is very tender.

It IS mostly because of the high salt in the liquid(If you add your own you can control, much better, the salt). There are also preservatives in the liquid.

When recipes call for canned beans of any sort, they always say - rinse and drain - I always assumed it was because of the salt; but further down in the recipe they add salt anyways!! Doesn't make any sense..I.G.
