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 why

they can even make certain

phytonutrients and antioxidants because

they have the Machinery that is the same

in our bodies so when we eat this yeast

we’re extracting nutrients that are made

from this machine that they have that

can actually make B vitamins from the

environment and because this Machinery

is built on certain genes that we have

we can utilize that nutrition and those

phytonutrients now since we’re on the

topic of B vitamins which is a

fascinating topic if you haven’t seen

this video on B vitamins that I’ve done

at one of my Summits check it out I put

it up right here
