Hi Caroline,

I asked my health food store awhile ago about nutritional yeast and they

said that although it is very good for you, they would not recomend it to

people who have yeast issues (most likely our kids). Sorry. Can your son

tolerate soy? There are some recipies for " mock cheese " made from soy.

I started using nutritional yeast and no negative effects

for me.

I and others use nutritional yeast. However it's no reason not to eat many

leafy greens as well. If you don't like them, try V-8, which comes in a

salted and low salt variety. At least you'll get 8 healthy veggies. Or try

juicing your own veggie juice if that's more palatable. You'd be surprized

what a good dressing (such as balsamic vinegar) can do for the taste of

leafy greens. Also I add chpped spinach and kale to sauces - they're

delicious.

I do recall Walford mentioning yeast as a beneficial addition. It may be

that you're confusing this with wheat germ which Walford at one time called

an overrated food.

The only drawback I can think of for yeast is relying on it to the exculsion

of other healthy foods which it sounds like you might be doing. Variety,

variety, variety!!! See Suzi Cart's " Checklist for CRON Variety " in our

files and try to include as many of the foods in the checklist as possible

in your diet.

Yes,

I use nutritional yeast, but a little more casually now. Been using it for years. Nutritional yeast, not brewer's yeast. Walford talks about brewer's yeast, not nutritional yeast.

I've been using nutritional yeast for B-vitamins in my diet. I typically get 50%+ of my B's from whole foods but then I use the yeast to be sure I'm getting over 100% esp. for B12 (and because it tastes good!). In my mind since it's yeast I consider it to be a whole food, as opposed to a supplement, and thus more likely to be a readily absorbable vitamin supply.I'm wondering if anyone else uses nutritional yeast, and wheter anyone knows of benefits/drawbacks in doing so. I don't eat many leafy greens, I admit, which is part of the reason I end up often relying upon the N. yeast for B vitamins. I started to think about this when I realized that I don't recall Walford talking about it when discussing key foods to keep on hand (such as shitake mushrooms, seaweed, etc.)... seems to me that nutritional yeast is almost a miracle B vitamin source. Thanks for any input.

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the speedy feedback. Although I do eat a varied

selection of vegetables, I generally tend to shy away from greens

because I don't like their taste that much. Not that I never eat

them, but it's more like once or twice a week that I do. I will,

however, try balsamic vinegar and see how that goes.

In general I do eat a lot of veggies daily, especially owing to the

fact that I very nearly follow a vegan diet. I don't say that I

NEVER eat dairy, but its extremely rare that I do and if so only if

I'm dining out. That leads me to another question I had: are there

many vegans, or vegetarians, in this group?

I put nutritional yeast on popcorn (with butter) for my children.

We called it cheese flavored popcorn. My children love it.

Yup, popcorn with butter, yeast, and salt is AMAZING....yum yum. If

you want something a bit more nutritious, broccoli with butter and

yeast is good too. It has a cheesy flavor as mentions, so any

steamed veggie with butter that would taste good with cheese would

work, I would think.

Aw shucks! Why did you have to go and spoil the party? I'm going to

ask him if he is willing to replace this with something else. If not I

guess I will have to source and make my own " superfood " complex unless

of course the daystar stuff is as good as advertised. In any event, I

refuse to go back to the days of ingesting innumerable superfoods and

supplements.

Do we know for sure this is the stuff he uses and is there a better alternative?

I don't know it for certain, it's the Daystar piece which says the

yeast is one and the same:

http://www.daystarbotanicals.com/nutritionalyeast.html

" Now, the first stop on the trail would be to Red Star Yeast, the

company that manufactures the 'nutritional yeast' for Dr. Schulze's

SuperFood... The Red Star " nutritional yeast " product that Dr. Schulze

utilizes is called 'Vegetarian Support Formula'. "

If you have that kind of pull with Schulze, go for it. I assume

Frontier nutritional yeast is a better alternative since it's

WAPF-approved but I'd better go look...

<brb>

Well, the Frontier organic yeast flakes include either rice or wheat

flour but something called " Frontier Nutritional Yeast Mini-1 lb. "

*seems* to be comprised of merely " inactive dry yeast " (the link to

the ingredients listing is malfunctioning) while the other two are

made up of something called " yeast autolysate " --huh?

http://tinyurl.com/fr6cb

" Yeast autolysate

Definition:

This substance is used as a culture medium and a food flavoring; it is

made by breaking down yeast with intracellular enzymes. "

At any rate, none of the Frontier yeasts are fortified.

Dang, I just bought a new bucket of SuperFood, too. I'll use it up

and switch to something else, ideally something of my own making but

more likely the creepy Daystar product, at least they show a nutrient

breakdown.

Jumping in...

Is Frontier really unfortified? I was under the impression that

Labs yeast was better than Frontier (it's what I use) and then

recently I was introduced to the " nutritional flakes " at

http://www.qnlabs.com/products04.shtml but I haven't tried this

product yet.

Has anyone looked into Frontier Nutritional Yeast that Sally Fallon

takes? She says she worked with them so they wouldn't grow them on soy

beans like so many others.

Hi !

If Frontier was fortified I reckon the fortifications would be listed

as ingredients.

So nice to know there's more out there than Frontier--why on earth do

they mix their yeast with flour?

The Labs yeast looks interesting, especially since it's dried at

60 degrees:

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FKA/is_2_65/ai_96416672

At the bottom of the page it says free samples are available by

calling a toll-free number--hopefully it's still valid.

What I wonder is, if the yeast is grown on sugar beets, why is it

called " brewer's yeast " ? What are they brewing--beet kvass?

The Quantum yeast is grown on molasses...eeny, meeny, miney...mo!

Hey ,

Labs yeast is actually quite mild--much better tasting than

other yeasts I've tried. Uh, and what's wrong with molasses-grown

yeast? I prob'ly missed some mammoth thread, but if you could provide

a synopsis I would appreciate it as I was planning on ordering from

Quantum next.

FYI, LL yeast can be bought for a good price here: www.Vitacost.com

I will definitely give the ROXX a tickle for you.

Nothing wrong with molasses-grown yeast afaik, I said eeny, meeny,

miney b/c I didn't know which to choose. They both look good.

Let us know what you think of the Quantum, if you please.

[Guest guest]

Okay, I'll share my yummy recipe using Labs yeast like I have on the on

the other sites, to be fair;-) It is truly delicious.

It's a small serving. for you big eaters, adjust accordingly....

1/3 cup soaked oatmeal, cooked lightly for about 5 min.(put in a bowl)

2T raw butter on top

1T of freshly ground golden flax

1T yeast

1 tsp. crunchy gray sea salt.

Help the yeast soak up the butter a bit by gently pressing down. Now munch while

your eyes roll around in your head. Holy Cow is this nutritious and very calming

indeed, except for the joy.

What's wrong with Frontier? I must have missed something. It's the one

Sally Fallon worked with to produce vitamins not grown on soy. This was

in a tape I heard from a conferernce.

There are two different Frontier yeasts. My chapter leader here in Tampa

uses it but it is the organic one. They had an extensive conversation about

it awhile a go and did some checking and contacting the company. From what

I remember the good one is labeled " organic " . I don't take yeast but this

is what I remember.

Thanks, I'll call them to see if I've waisted my money and harmed my

product. Also natural sources are more bioavailable. The very best

source of B vitamin is beef liver: raw beef liver drink or frozen

beef liver made into chunks you can swallow like pills, or dessicated

liver tablets. See our Recipe Folder for the drink and frozen liver.

candida sufferers' colons are not operating properly.
