now what is the difference between whether you get baker’s yeast or nutritional yeast I mean they’re created from the same exact microbe they’re created from a yeast why would they be that different brewer’s yeast is typically grown on beet sugar whereas nutritional yeast is normally grown on molasses which is the byproduct of sugar cane and by the way there’s a lot of nutrition in molasses there’s trace minerals there’s minerals there’s vitamins but the problem is there’s also a lot of sugar but when you put the yeast on it the yeast eats the carbohydrate the sugar and also the nutrients and those nutrients can then end up as a nutritional yeast product now the same thing happens with burziest when you’re growing it on beet sugar it’s going to consume the sugar as well as the nutrition in that beef the problem with I think over 90 percent of all beets in at least in the U. S they’re GMO so they could potentially have traces of glyphosate which is an herbicide so this yeast is very interesting it’s a common microbe in our gut and yeast is not a bad thing we have friendly yeast and there’s also unfriendly yeast so as a part of our microbiome we have a lot of different organisms that are in our gut not just bacteria it’s when you start using antibiotics and you kill off the bacteria that then you get this overgrowth of this yeast so as long as you don’t stress out your microbes you’re fine those bacteria are there to keep the yeast in check and to keep them from overgrowing but if there’s anything that yeasts love it’s sugar so if you ever do have a yeast infection you have to cut out the sugar if you ever want to get rid of your yeast but this friendly yeast in our guts is pretty interesting because it actually helps defend against pathogens it helps make glutathione a very powerful antioxidant that helps regulate cholesterol and it helps build some immunity against certain pathogens as well now when you consume either bruis yeast or nutritional yeast you’re consuming an inactive yeast it’s not alive so it’s impossible for you to develop a yeast infection if you consume either baker’s yeast or nutritional yeast it’s not going to happen so what are the differences between baker’s yeast or nutritional yeast baker’s yeast is typically a byproduct of making beer nutritional yeast is more of a product that people take to enhance their nutrients now there are several things in both of these yeast that I want to do a little comparison there is more protein in baker’s yeast than nutritional yeast that’s for sure but personally I’m not trying to get my protein from yeast but typically I get my protein from eggs Meats Dairy cheese things like that now if we compare the B vitamins nutritional yeast has more B vitamins then baker’s yeast and that’s pretty much the main reason I consume nutritional use for the B vitamins but not just regular B vitamins the natural B vitamins so we can tap into that by consuming nutritional yeast but I want to make a very important point um many times they enhance uh especially nutritional yeast with synthetic B vitamins okay they Spike B vitamins they add B12 a folic acid and they’re in a synthetic version so I’m going to explain shortly why that is a very very bad idea especially for a significant population in fact if certain people consume these synthetic B vitamins especially the 12 and folic acid they’re going to have all sorts of negative reactions and they’ll definitely say that oh nutritional yeast may be worse or they gave me a yeast infection or whatever when in fact it had nothing to do with that at all variation or change within our genes a very specific part of your genes okay not the whole thing but just a very small part of it that if you consume certain amounts of synthetic B vitamins you’re not going to convert those into the natural forms and that’s going to create a lot of issues so I’m just going to give you the name of this Gene and you can get more information about that if you’re interested but it’s called the MTHFR Gene and the term for this variation or this difference in this Gene is generally called polymorphic change so basically that means it’s just an altered shape and if you have based on genetic testing this alteration in this specific Gene which by the way 20 to 40 percent of whites and Hispanics in the U. S have this problem and I think it’s also one to two percent in the black community so it’s actually much lower but if you have this problem okay this problem in your genetics you’re only going to convert a fraction of these B vitamins uh specifically it’s like B12 and folic acid now typically what will happen is you’ll start having symptoms like racing mind anxiety like a hyper brain you might have a problem sleeping but the point is because you don’t have the enzyme to convert these hormones into the active form you’re going to be deficient in B12 and folic acid and that is going to give you a lot of problems especially with the cardiovascular system you start building up more homocysteine you can’t recycle that which leads to problems with your heart you have problems with clots not just on your arteries but the Deep veins as well hardening of the arteries dementia mood disorders and inability to detoxify things so you’re going to hold more toxins so you can see there’s a lot of problems with a defect in this Gene and that’s all real interesting but that’s a side note I want to get back to this topic of when you consume yeast that is fortified or enriched they’re enriching it with synthetic B vitamins usually B12 folic acid and B6 and other B vitamins and that is going to create a problem so I would recommend if you’re going to consume either brewer’s yeast or nutritional yeast to always get them unfortified because those yeast made these forms of B vitamins in a natural form and even if you don’t have a problem with this Gene these B vitamins are wonderful to reduce stress because it is just so hard to find a natural form of the vitamin in our food now it’s in grains but the problem with grains is that they have other problems like gluten and carbohydrates so yeast is a really good source of B vitamins and you can get a good amount of B vitamins from baker’s yeast it’s just that nutritional yeast has a little bit more now as far as a woman who is breastfeeding a lot of times they’ll take nutritional yeast to help fortify and increase the breast milk production nutritional yeast can actually work better than brewer’s yeast because it has more B vitamins and it’s usually the B vitamins it could also be the combination of the trace minerals and other things in that product that’s doing it but the B vitamins are a significant factor in increasing the quality of breast milk now there’s another interesting compound called beta glucan that is a product that does help regulate cholesterol it does help with your blood sugars and that is present in both nutritional yeast and burners yeast and another interesting thing about this top topic is that plants actually get a significant amount of their nutrition from these microbes in fact they eat the microbes that have this nutrition in them they extract the nutrition and they will also spit out part of this bacteria that without a cell wall that has to kind of recombine and do this whole cycle so there’s this whole exchange going on in the soil between the microbe and the plant and this is why a plant typically is not a pure vegan plants to my knowledge don’t eat vegetables but they definitely eat bacteria so to me it’s very fascinating to just study the yeast in the bacteria of what’s going on in their Universe because it’s quite interesting you have to realize that the DNA in our bodies okay the code that makes certain proteins the code that makes certain enzymes that same code that same Machinery is in plants as well as in bacteria and yeast this is wh
