Re: Red Star nutritional yeast

[Guest guest]

Yeah, just got some Labs Brewers Yeast Nutritional Yeast. Looking at the

list of amino acids, the Glutamic Acid is the largest percentage of them all.

Being SPMS and aware, should we be concerned about the exposure to glutamines

here? Would be a shame since this stuff looks really good otherwise.

You must have missed my post about glutamic acid in Nutritinal yeast. It is a

naturally occuring exitotoxin. The vitamins are added.

Is Yeast Gluten-Free?

Posted on May 18, 2011 by admin

Is Yeast Gluten-Free?

Yeast is made up of a single-celled organism which multiplies quickly when fed

sugar in a moist environment. One pound of yeast contains 3,200 billion yeast

cells! Yeast also thrives on starch, which it converts to glucose, a simple

sugar. This process ferments the sugar, which converts to alcohol and carbon

dioxide.

All brand name packaged yeasts sold in the United States are gluten free. Yeast

found in a food product is generally considered gluten free. Brewer's yeast,

when it is a by-product of beer is not considered gluten-free. Brewer's yeast

nutritional supplements can be made from either brewer's yeast or sugar. If they

are made from sugar, they are gluten free. Some people with gluten sensitivity

have yeast overgrowth problems which is referred to as Candida.

The vitamins may be synthetic but even if they aren't they are added to the

product.

Probably read it and didn't catch that glutamic acid was the glutamine issue.

May check the counts on different nutritional yeast prodcuts to see if any are

lower.

I think they are all the same because of the way they are made. The vitamins are

added (fortified) and it seems more prudent to concentrate on B vitamines

without any yeast. Let us know what you find.

It doesn't seem to have hurt Dr. Wahls. I tend to avoid the stress of

hypervigilance. Life is too short.

I found nutritional yeast by Labs

http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-7725-lewis-labs-brewers-yeast-nutritional-yeast-32\

-oz?redirect=1

Here they claim that it is not fortified or blended, nothing added. At this site

they don't list the amino acids, but I think I saw at another site selling it a

list with the same high amount of glutamic acid.

Going to this site (see below) I read the article about nutritional yeast,

friend or foe? Scared the hell out of me regarding excitotoxin damage to my

brain cells.... until I got to the very end of the article only to discover the

author owns a company trying to sell something.

Of course, how stupid can I get to fall for this again! Okay, lets bring out

the scientists and researchers without bias to tell us if this amino acid will

kill our brain cells.
