Why Nutritional Yeast Is NOT Vegan Health Food {+ what it really is}

Have you seen or eaten nutritional yeast?
It’s that cheesy, nutty, flaky, yellow condiment used mainly by vegans and vegetarians to provide protein, minerals, and B vitamins! How couldn’t it be healthy?
 
A couple of years ago I made a vegan soup for some friends. I added nutritional yeast for a boost of flavor and nutrition, then ate a bowl to double-check the flavors. Within minutes of eating the bowl of soup, I nearly lost both my balance and consciousness.
 
Several months later, I ate nutritional yeast again and the same symptoms overcame me. The correlation was unmistakable.
 
I’d been a vegetarian for 10 years and used to eat this seemingly benign and nutrient-infused ingredient! What changed? Who can eat nutritional yeast safely? And who should avoid it?
 
What Is Nutritional Yeast?
The production of nutritional yeast begins in highly-controlled laboratories, where a common yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae grows on one of three nutrient-deficient foods: sugar cane, beet molasses (usually genetically modified), or wood pulp. Lacking an external source of nutrients, the yeast makes its own.

Manufacturers then dry the yeast to preserve its nutrients. They usually spray it with hot gas, a process that causes thermal degradation and loss of nutrients. Nutritional yeast can also be eaten fresh (although this product is no longer available to buy) or dried with a more traditional method called “drum drying”.

Most companies then fortify nutritional yeast by adding vitamins such as folic acid and Vitamin B12. Remember, folic acid is the harmful, synthetic form of folate. Compared with folate, the body does not use folic acid effectively. (Source.)
 
Only two companies in America (Trim Healthy Mama and Sari) produce both a non-genetically-modified and a non-vitamin-fortified nutritional yeast. Most unsuspecting consumers purchase one of the mainstream brands of genetically-modified, gas-dried, and folic acid-fortified nutritional yeast!
Note: Bob’s Red Mill, Bragg, Frontier, Harmony House, NOW Foods and Red Star nutritional yeast brands all pasteurize their products as well as fortifying with synthetic ingredients (source).

As if that’s not enough, one major issue remains…
Why Nutritional Yeast Is Not Vegan Health Food
The vegan lifestyle means needing to find quality sources of protein due to a lack of animal protein. For many, this means adding nutritional yeast in large quantities to foods and recipes. Commonly referred to as monosodium glutamate (MSG), free glutamic acid is a processed food arguably found in nutritional yeast. In the case of nutritional yeast, manufacturers don’t add MSG intentionally; it occurs because of the manufacturing process. Thus, the misleading wording we often see in the food industry, “no added MSG”, means the product may still contain MSG. (Source.)
 
Glutamic acid, a naturally occurring neurotransmitter found in plant and animal proteins, excites our taste buds and the neurons in our brains. Whole foods like bone broth and aged cheese contain bound, unprocessed, and healthful (for most people) glutamic acid.
 
On the other hand, unnaturally fermented or manufactured foods contain something called “processed free glutamic acid”. In other words, glutamic acid has been freed from its protein during the manufacturing process. It is now an excitotoxin.
 
Excitotoxins interfere with normal brain function by overstimulating neuron receptors in the hypothalamus and causing the death of neurons.
 
This is why nutritional yeast is considered impure — it most likely contains processed free glutamic acid (source). When ingested, the highly concentrated glutamates enter the bloodstream then the brain without going through the proper channels of digestion (source). 25% of the population reacts adversely to free glutamic acid, usually within 48 hours of ingestion.
 
The ingestion of MSG has similar side effects to some pharmaceuticals, which can be confusing to consumers (source). Excitotoxins are known to cause long-term, serious neuro-degenerative damage, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease (source).
 
Are You At Risk?
Truth in Labeling is a website dedicated to exposing the dangers associated with MSG. They list the neurological symptoms I experienced (headache, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of balance) among the common symptoms of MSG. They also record 70 adverse reactions caused by MSG, including cardiac, gastrointestinal and respiratory issues. (Source.)
 
While MSG does not cause noticeable symptoms in everyone, it is a known carcinogen and damages the brain. More controversial is whether or not nutritional yeast contains MSG. My body’s reaction to nutritional yeast suggests it does. I don’t react negatively to other glutamate-rich foods, like bone broth and aged cheeses (healthful staples in my diet).
 
“…[S]ome people react to the food ingredient monosodium glutamate. What many don’t know, is that more than 40 different ingredients contain the chemical in monosodium glutamate (processed free glutamic acid) that causes these reactions.” — Jack Samuels, creator of the Truth in Labeling Campaign Jack Samuels, the late foremost authority on MSG in the traditional community, includes “yeast food, yeast nutrient” in his list of “ingredients that always contain processed free glutamic acid”.
 
Logically speaking, when we look at how MSG develops in foods, the production method of nutritional yeast matches. It is a manufactured, fermented food, highly concentrated in flavor and glutamates. This kind of man-made food is exactly where we see MSG occurring, as a byproduct of other food processes (source). Also, interestingly, the manufacture of MSG itself is very similar to the process of creating nutritional yeast (source)! Nutritional yeast is a flavor enhancer! That’s why vegetarians and vegans love it. So is MSG. Any man-made flavor-enhancer should make us cautious.
 
Conclusion
“Since free glutamic acid is cheap and since its neurotoxic nerve stimulation enhances so wonderfully the flavor of basically bland and tasteless foods, such as many low-fat and vegetarian foods, manufacturers are eager to go on using it and do not want the public to realize any of the problems.” –The American Nutrition Association (source)
 
Most nutritional yeast is genetically modified and all likely contains MSG, which causes serious neurological disorders and other physiological health problems.
 
Many consumers are symptom-free, even after years of eating nutritional yeast. However, MSG works slowly and insidiously on the human brain, and it is hard to measure its effects on those who don’t have a glutamate sensitivity.
 
While nutritional yeast contains amino acids, minerals, and B vitamins, there are better food sources for this nutrition that are not man-made. Babies and children are the most sensitive, and any foods that potentially contain MSG should be strictly avoided (source).
 
Until we chemically analyze the amount of processed free glutamic acid in different brands of nutritional yeast, we must base our conclusions on the evidence we have. Shall we not eat truly natural, unadulterated, unprocessed, whole foods?

Reasons to Avoid Nutritional Yeast

• Many brands are genetically modified
• Nutritional yeast contains MSG (due to the manufacturing process)
• MSG causes serious neurological disorders
• May experience headache, dizziness, light-headedness, loss of balance
• There are 70 adverse reactions caused by MSG recorded, including cardiac, gastrointestinal and respiratory issues. (Source.)
• You may be symptom free for now, but symptoms can build slowly (bio-accumulation)
• There are better food sources for nutrients found in nutritional yeast (namely amino acids, minerals and B vitamins)

Why Not Alcohol?

If you had a dog that bit out one out of every four people who came to your house would you keep it?

About one in five people who use alcohol for social or recreational purposes become alcohol dependent for part of their lives. In the US about 30% of those who drink alcohol do so excessively, and excessive drinking is the third leading direct cause of death killing 75,000 people a year.

Alcoholism constitutes the number one drug problem in America. Alcoholic beverages are legal, socially accepted, and relatively inexpensive, but they are not harmless.

Alcohol molecules are tiny and soluble in both fat and water. They easily permeate almost all parts of the body.  Alcohol irritates the lining of the digestive tract and increases the risk of oral and liver cancer, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis, and gastritis. A large-scale analysis showed that women having two or more drinks a day increased their risk for breast cancer by as much as 41%.

At low doses alcohol acts as a stimulant and lessens inhibition but it is classified as a depressant because at moderate to high doses it actually depresses brain activity. Even one drink can cause reactions to slow, clouding judgment, increasing mistakes and not recognizing that they are making them.

Perhaps that is why alcohol is linked to 40% of industrial injuries and 50% of all driving fatalities. The brains frontal lobes, the centers for emotions and planning are especially susceptible to alcohol damage.

Quitting alcohol helps the brain to recover often with marked improvement in two years. Alcohol can damage brain tissue, even in socially acceptable amounts.

A number of studies indicate that light to moderate amounts of red wine consumption lower the risk of heart attack and fatal heart disease. However, there are also numerous studies that question the extent of red wines benefits or question if the benefits outweigh the risks. I say the risk outweighs the benefit or we would not be told to leave it alone in the Bible and SOP.

Proverbs 20:1 – “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

“Tea, coffee, tobacco, and ALCOHOL we must present as sinful indulgences…tea, coffee, tobacco, beer, wine, and all spirituous liquors--are not to be taken moderately, but discarded.” 3SM 287 (1881) {LDE 81.1} 

 The Adventist health study has shown that a diet rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans, plus regular exercise improves heart and immune function, lowers stress, high blood pressure, stroke, dementia and cancer risk. It also adds years of quality life without the risk of brain and organ damage cancer and addiction linked alcohol.

Articles on the so-called French paradox touting alcohols heart health benefits have been widely published, but British research has found no evidence that drinking red wine provides any protection against heart disease. Death rates from ischemic heart disease and the French were linked to their low consumption of saturated fat in the past and high consumption of more healthful fats for more than 30 years.

In addition, some illnesses considered to be cardiovascular in Britain are not considered to be cardiovascular diseases in France, thus seriously skewing study results. Important reviews have shown serious and substantiated flaws in studies that suggest drinking is healthier than nondrinking.

A 21 year study of nearly 6,000 Scottish drinking men showed that there was no clear relation between alcohol consumption and death from coronary heart disease - but there was double the risk of stroke when moderate drinkers were compared with nondrinkers.

 In addition, researchers concluded that drinking even small amounts had no increased health benefit.

In fact, at levels commonly seen in social drinking, even levels being safe for driving alcohol prompts a sharp increase in destructive free radical activity linked to a wide array of chronic diseases, including liver and heart disease.

Finally, according to Dr. Robert Superko, director of the cholesterol genetics and heart disease Institute in Berkeley California. The cardiovascular benefits of alcohol have been greatly overstated. He calls heart health studies with alcohol quite biased and that insight to the considerable role alcohol plays in the alarming obesity epidemic in the United States, he says that a highly unflattering picture of alcohols cardiovascular effects emerges. Indeed, alcohol avoidance, along with increased physical activity, and the elimination of simple sugars from the diet, ought to be at the core of any strategy to reduce the obesity problems.

Alcohol is very calorie dense; one glass of wine contains as many calories as a Snickers candy bar, about as many as burned in a 1 mile walk.

DID JESUS DRINK ALCOHOL? Jesus did drink wine, the pure blood of the grape, or fresh grape juice. It was no tailgate party at the wedding feast in Cana where He turned hundreds of gallons of water into sweet fresh juice. Such succulent beverages were highly prized among the ancients and had the blessing of God. As the new wine is found in the cluster do not destroy it for a blessing is in it.

Our word for wine always means a fermented beverage, but the Greek word for wine can mean either fermented or unfermented juice. The Scriptures warn us that alcohol attacks the user with a vengeance and at the last has the death bite of a poisonous viper.

For optimum heart health, you may want to grab the grapes. Plant compounds in grapes are thought to be one main source of benefit because they may dilate blood vessels apart from the alcohol.

So here's the latest word from the grapevine. The pure blood of the grape the unfermented juice with its blessing in the wholesome cluster is undoubtedly the safest, wisest, and most wholesome way to receive the health promoting benefits of grapes.

What's In Your Cleaning Products?

Did you know that the average home contains over 50 toxic chemicals that over time cause havoc to your body! This can explain why more and more people suffer from asthma, hormonal problems, headaches, depression, and frequent sickness. The cleaning products that you use for your kitchen and bathroom contain harmful toxins that are stored in the fatty tissues of your brain through inhalation, absorption, and usage.

It's not just cleaning products for your home that are dangerous; it's also cleaning products for your body that are harmful. Shampoos, conditioners, hair spray, hair color, body washes, deodorant, shaving lotions, make up, mouth washes etc.

Checking the labels on all products used for your home or body is important. Avoid products with words that you don't understand, or if there is a warning label on it. The general rule is that if you wouldn't taste it in your mouth; don't put it on your body. It only takes 26 seconds for whatever you put on your body to be absorbed into your bloodstream.

Here is a list of chemicals that you should be aware of, and avoid:

ALCOHOL
Alcohol is mostly found in mouthwashes, creams, moisturizers, lubricants and most hair and skin products. Alcohol Derivatives by themselves can severely impact your skin. They interfere with your body's ability to process and absorb Vitamin A. The result can be dilated blood vessels, increased flushing of your skin and decreased absorption of Vitamin A. Alcohol also has a drying effect to the skin, and has been linked to mouth and throat cancers.

There are alternatives alcohols that are actually safe for your skin and health. They are known as fatty alcohols, such as:

• Cetyl Alcohol – Derived from coconuts
  
• Stearyl Alcohol – Also derived from coconut oil
  
• Cetearyl Alcohol – Derived from natural oils
  
• Lanolin Alcohol – Derived from Sheep's Wool

ALUMINUM
Aluminum is mostly found in skin deodorant and antiperspirants. Its compounds have been linked with Alzheimer's disease, respiratory disorders and breast cancer. When used as an aerosol spray, it causes more brain damage, as it's easily absorbed through your nasal passages into your brain.

The best alternative is to use crystal deodorant stones, which are very effective, non greasy or sticky, and are safe to use. Also Young Living sells 2 great deodorants and you can order by using my member number 759967.

BUTANE/PROPANE
Butane and Propane are colorless and odorless gases that are used in many cosmetic and personal products. Formulations of cleansing products, shaving creams, hair conditioners and make up include these compressed gases.

In extreme doses, oxygen deficiency can occur, which can lead to asphyxiation. Butane and Propane are also known to be toxic and flammable for the environment.

DIETHANOLAMINE (DEA)

Diethanolamine is a substance used as a wetting agent for most lotions, creams, shampoos and cosmetics. It increases the foaming action in a product making it more easily absorbed by your skin. DEA is not harmful by itself while sitting on store shelves, or in your cabinet at home. It becomes extremely toxic when mixed with other ingredients in the product, and causes a bad carcinogen reaction which is absorbed by your skin. This has been linked to stomach, liver and bladder cancers.

ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING AND COLORING
There is a rainbow of color dyes available to create any color combination for any household or edible product. These artificial flavoring and coloring are found in everything, from toothpastes and mouthwashes to flavored children's medicine.

These dyes are harmful, as they cause changes at the cellular level, which is carcinogenic, and linked to cause cancer. Children consuming such products that are non-ADD can become hyperactive.

It's best to avoid these artificial preservatives in foods and products for health reasons, as they are toxic and lack nutritional value compared to all natural products.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL
Propylene Glycol is a form of anti-freeze for many household products. It is found in processed foods, pet food, laundry detergents, floor wax, paints, deodorants, shaving creams/gels, shampoos, and conditioners.

Purchasing a bottle of Propylene Glycol on its own has a warning label that says "Avoid Contact With Skin." Even with low levels of concentration, this solvent has found to inhibit skin cell growth, cause skin irritations, dermatitis and liver and kidney damage.

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS)
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is found in most detergents, stain removers, carpet cleaners, dish soaps, shampoos, bubble baths, and toothpastes. This solvent is a cheap type of foaming agent which over time can build up in your heart, lungs, liver, and brain. It can also cause cataracts and lead to improper eye development in children under 6. It's also commonly used as a cleaning agent in the automotive industry. Car wash soaps, garage floor cleaners, and engine degreasers are some examples. SLS attacks all greasy surfaces and is highly corrosive.

What’s On Your Face?

Nasty ingredients that make up your make-up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdDpMTrufMA

SOME OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:
1. Bat Poop
2. Beetle Blood
3. Animal Fat that has been boiled down
4. And the list goes on

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN COUNSELED ABOUT COSMETICS?

"The cruelties the tyrant of fashion inflicts upon her slaves--willing though they be--are indeed appalling. Just to think of ladies upon whom nature has lavished her charms, submitting to the enameling process only to become subject to paralysis or drop dead from its effects. Others, again, seeking to be fairer than the fairest, are allured by the glaring words, 'laird's bloom of youth,' and similar poetic phrases, and eagerly seize upon the poisonous compounds, only to suffer the excruciating pains of neuralgia or breathe out a painful and lingering existence from the effects of slow poison introduced into the system by their use." {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 17}

The majority of pleasure lovers attend the fashionable night gatherings, and spend in exciting amusements the hours God has given them for quiet rest and sleep in order to invigorate the body. Hours are spent in dancing. The blood becomes heated; the system is exhausted…”  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 18}

Many are ignorantly injuring their health and endangering their life by using cosmetics. They are robbing the cheeks of the glow of health, and then to supply the deficiency use cosmetics. When they become heated in the dance the poison is absorbed by the pores of the skin, and is thrown into the blood. Many lives have been sacrificed by this means alone. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 20}

THE FATAL EFFECTS OF PAINTING THE FACE

"No one can ride or walk through the fashionable portion of New York City, attend any place of amusement, or go to any evening party, without becoming aware of the horrible fact that many women of whom better things might be expected, have fallen into the pernicious habit of applying to their skins the enamels which, under various attractive names, are advertised and sold in all parts of the land. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 22}

"Not only faded faces, but countenances so young, plump and pretty in outline that they must in their natural condition be attractive, are lacquered over with an unnatural polish of fine porcelain, which produces an effect such as one might imagine if a china doll were afflicted with the consumption.  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 23}

"This practice is as pernicious as it is disgusting--the seeds of death or paralysis being hidden in every pot and jar of those mixtures, which are supposed to be not only innocent, but also to possess the virtues of the undiscovered fountain of perpetual youth. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 24}

Some who use them will suddenly have a severe illness; and receiving a private warning from the family physician, will cease the use of the cause of their disorder, and recovering, go through life with an extremely bad complexion, as a reminder of their folly. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 25}

"Others will drop suddenly, with their features twisted on one side, and perhaps deprived of the use of their limbs. Others will die outright, no one guessing why. The effect on any particular person cannot be calculated. What one suffers paralysis from, may kill another outright. The only safety is in having nothing to do with any of these baneful preparations."  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 26}

…The slaves to fashion take these burdens upon themselves, and make their own life very wearisome with needless care, in their anxiety to keep pace with fashion. They lay upon the altar of fashion, health, happiness, life and Heaven. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 27}

Christians cannot afford to make this great sacrifice. They cannot afford to sow to the flesh and reap corruption. That which ye sow ye shall also reap. Now is the sowing time. The reaping time hasteth. What will the harvest be? The inspired apostle addresses us, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service…” {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 28}

"The fashionable style of woman's dress is one of the greatest causes of all these terrible diseases."  {HL 64.2}

“More die as the result of following fashion that from all other causes.” {HL 64.3}

*** DON’T USE LOTIONS, BODY WASHES, SOAP THAT HAVE HARMFUL INGREDIENTS

***HONEY & BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES FOR THE FACE

WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE UGLY?

"Curls and cosmetics are all in requisition to enhance the beauty of 'the human face divine;' but what is the result? Youth's roses only flee the faster--old age will creep on apace; rouge cannot hide its wrinkles, nor can it make any face beautiful. We are decided believers in the old adage, 'handsome is that handsome does.' no face has true beauty in it that does not mirror the deeds of a noble soul. There is not a thought, word, or deed, that does not leave its autograph written on the human countenance; and we care not whether kind nature has given her child an ugly face or a handsome one, if the heart that beats underneath all is warm and loving. And if the soul that looks out from the eyes be true and pure, the face will be beautiful always, for it has found the true fountain of youth; and though time may fold the hair in silver, and furrow the brow, yet there will ever be a beauty lighting it up that years cannot dim, for the heart and soul never grow old." {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 15}

"Another writer says under the caption."  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 16}

What To Do If Charcoal Is Not Available To Buy

Charcoal is usually obtained from a hard wood, charcoal is produced by slow combustion in a relative absence of oxygen. If you do not have any available, in an emergency, you can burn a piece of hard wood and scrape or chip the charcoal from the charred wood. After moistening it with water, force it through a food grinder.

Commercial source is usually made from coconut shells. (burnt toast or charcoal briquettes are not charcoal!) Treatment with superheated steam can produce activated charcoal, which is capable of much greater adsorptive effect. This is because more surfaces of the charcoal have been exposed. The surface area of charcoal is astounding for it has millions of micropores with surface areas ranging from 400 to over 1,800 square meters per gram! There are 50 million charcoal particles in one pound!

What Is The Truth About Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil, although saturated, is good when used in moderation.The fatty acids in coconut oil are shorter chains of carbon atoms, which makes a difference in the way our body handles them. Saturated fatty acids with 18 carbons (long chains) appear to be the ones that have the negative effect in our body. This type of saturated fat is more abundant in products of animal origin. In fact, some studies seem to show that the real culprit may not be the saturated fat itself but the animal protein that comes along with it. Many authorities in nutrition are proposing that the real culprit and most powerful blood cholesterol elevator is the animal protein.

Who are the people with the highest rates of hypercholesterolemia (a condition characterized by very high levels of cholesterol in the blood)? The ones who eat the typical western diet, high in animal food and refined vegetable oils? Or the inhabitants of the developing countries who eat diets low in animal product and high in coconut and coconut products and oils?

Another point in favor of coconut oil is that because it is saturated and made of medium and short chains of fatty acids it is more stable (resistant to oxidation). It can resist higher temperatures (cooking…but we don’t want to fry anything) and more exposure to light; therefore, it has a longer shelf-life. Whereas vegetable oils, which are long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids are less stable and more prone to oxidation.

According to many authorities in nutrition, the best oils to use are the monounsaturated ones, like olive oil and avocado oil, and the short chain, saturated coconut oil. The more unsaturated oils (the polyunsaturated vegetable oils) need to be used freshly extracted because they are easily oxidized. Also, the vegetable oils like corn oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, etc., are very high in the linoleic fatty acid,which is used by the body to make prostaglandins that favor inflammation, thus increasing the risk of chronic diseases like coronary heart disease, arthritis, cancer, etc.
