If its a choice of canned beans or a big mac then you're better off with the canned food :-)0

If you drain the brine and boil them in plain water, yes, it will. The salt will move from the high concentration of the vegetable to the low concentration of the water. If you boil them in the brine, it will increase the concentration as the water evaporates
Soaking the vegetables in plain water will have the same effect, it just takes a bit more time, but then again you won't be over cooking your vegetables.
