Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi Doc and all, I would very much like to hear your opinion regarding supplementing ones diet with either Brewers Yeast or what is called Live yeast which is Bakers Yeast.I have read pro and con on these till I am blue in the face! Some of the things my research has found but by no means substantiated: 1. Live yeast should not be used as it sets up live cultures of Saccromycetes in the gut and robs the body of valuable nutrients? 2. Only killed Brewers Yeast should be utilized in human nutrition. 3. Brewers Yeast cant cause Yeast infections wheras Live yeast can? I have to wonder about this as we are dealing with entirely different species of yeast when it comes to infections in humans? 4 Brewers Yeast is more nutritional than Live yeast? How is this as they are essentially the same organism possibly a different strain? If the question between Live yeast and Brewers Yeast is one of being alive then why cant I kill the live yeast with heat just as Brewers Yeast was killed? I live in a country that has very poor sources of Vitamin B as well as many valuable minerals such as Selenium, Chromium etc. Yeasts are readily available here either as byproduct of the brewery business but not in the dry stabilized form we see in the West and Live Yeast for the bakery trade and as supplements for animals.The latter is imported in large amounts from Korea.Your answers would be greatly appreciated!
