Is yeast good for health?why or why not?
Answers
Yeast is an organism which requires food, warmth and moisture to thrive and reproduce. It converts sugars and starches via fermentation into carbon dioxide and alcohol. There are different types of yeasts which benefit the health of the body by improving immunity and nutritional status and also some which may contribute to fungal infections. The different types of yeasts are Brewers Yeast, Torula Yeast and Bakers Yeast. Their uses in the food industry differ and their nutritional effect in the body also differ. Some yeasts are beneficial for health and some cause negative effects on the body. Yeasts are also found in other foods such as Vegemite and fungus.
Whether a yeast is positive or negative for health also depends on the amount consumed, sensitivities or allergies or if Candida is present. Small amounts of yeasts can improve health by increasing nutritional levels of B Vitamins, however overconsumption of yeasts can cause bloating and Candida in people who are succeptible to them.
