Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
