Nutritional yeast has always been heralded as a highly nutritious food source, but is it really? Or has nutritional yeast only just gotten good for us because the word ‘nutritional’ was placed in front of the yeast and we are being fooled? These days nutritional yeast is thrown on almost everything that is in the healthy snack food arena to give fun foods an extra tasty kick. Many people who love their “Nooch” never want to let it go and they believe nutritional yeast is highly nutritious and they are giving their body something it really needs to stay healthy. For many, this gives them permission to be generous as to how much nutritional yeast they consume, and leads to lots of “Nooch” in and on everything they eat: hummus, mac and cheese, oat meal, rice, dips, dressings, chips, cookies, cakes, salads, soups, sauces, and pretty much sprinkled on everything. Sounds so good and innocent, doesn’t it? But what is it that we don’t know about this fortified tasty yeast? What is it we should know? Surprisingly, there is a dark side to Nooch, and there are reasons why many who use it get so addicted. Learn how the nutrients in nutritional yeast are not compatible to our bodies, how unhelpful it may be if you are battling symptoms and conditions, and just how unhealthy this food really can be.

If you’re someone who eats nutritional yeast, or someone who doesn’t realize they eat it, because nutritional yeast is an ingredient they are not paying attention to in the foods they order or eat in restaurants or snack on with healthier packaged foods, then this is going to be an eye-opening episode for you…
