I'll just second that request. I've been curious to try nutritional years,

but I don't know what's good or where to find it.

I get mine from Frontier. You can find it in many health food store or buy

thru a co-op. They sell wholesale to co-ops for a very small fee. you can

even get free shipping for only a $250/order. It is great and they carry

TONS of spices, kitchen stuff, cleaners & natural care products.....like

Seventh Generation, Dr. Bronners, 's Natural, Kiss My Face, Boiron

Homeopathics, Hylands, etc. We love it and order monthly.

I did a couple minutes of googling on the subject last night, and I came

across an article which recommended brewers' yeast as the best possible

nutritional yeast, but I seem to remember reading that brewers' yeast is

not supposed to be good, and I thought it was described as something quite

different from nutritional yeast.

Can you (or anyone else) clarify?

I use Labs Brewer's Yeast. I don't know why Frontier is recommended

because all versions except one are loaded with synthetic B vitamins which is

what we're trying to avoid by using it, and the organic version that doesn't

have synthetic B vitamins has wheat flour in it. Read the ingredients info. Go

here http://www.frontiercoop.com/search.php and search for " yeast. "

Greetings,

I'll jump in here, having just found this group from someone in

Beyond-Price. I'm really amazed at the things I see in these

groups- such a great source of info. And living in Peoria, it's a

bit behind the times to say the least.

Anyway I just read " The Life Bridge " by Schulick et.al. about

Probiotics. Very, very informative, and I will never take a refined

vitamin again. The fermentation process does amazing things to

foods and makes so many nutrients bioavailable and in balance.

Brewer's yeast is a great example, and there is no need to be adding

sythetic vitamins to it. For example the antioxidant quality of

selenium from yeast is 238 times that of sodium selenite. And it is

absorbed much better than the selenates or selenites; a Swedish

study on cows, and a hungarian study with babies show this.

(selenium is anti-cancer too). The effect is similar on many other

minerals, CoEnzymeQ10, Chromium, B vitamins, even Vit. C is

synthesized. (They also talk about how too much VIt. C causes it to

become an oxidizer, causing cell damage. The Linus ing

Institute even says now that 60-120mg/day is optimal. I read that

it also oxidizes certain fatty acids, making them carcinogenic.)

Also Brewer's yeast does not cause yeast infections- they are

different types of yeast.

This is just one example of the benefits of culturing foods.

Uncultured soy is really bad stuff, but cultured, very good. Beer,

wine, sauerkraut, etc. have small amounts of highly available

nutrients in them, in balance.

Hope this helps!

Bob
