Nutritional Yeast and MSG

[KLS52]

I’m not happy. I use a ridiculous amount of nutritional yeast and now I feel like I need to cut back on it. I ordered a sublingual B12 supplement.

Nutritional yeast has got some bad press recently. The product that is loved by vegans, vegetarians and chefs for it's umami or savoury

Found it.

Forgive me for being blissfully unaware of this, but I'm a bit worried now. We use nutritional yeast multiple times per week. Making cheese sauce, sprinkling over veggies or roast potatoes. I sometimes sprinkle some over buttered crackers. I also sometimes eat it straight from the pot using a spoon! We probably go through a 125g pot every two weeks as a family, would it be wise to cut back? Gutted though, I love the cheesy, nutty taste.

Is this correct or scaremongering? Why Nutritional Yeast Is NOT Vegan Health Food (+ what it really is)

@drummerboy ...you will find conflicting articles so it’s something you will have to decide for yourself. I don’t see me cutting back that much. Maybe I’ll try somewhat. But some foods just really need it for me.

There is so much garbage on that site! No, unless you have a particular sensitivity, as you could from ANY food, nutritional yeast is just fine! Listen to those physicians who actually do research, and research research, and post footnotes!
125 grams is like a half cup--that's about what I go through a week for myself.
Now, the folic acid thing was truly a consideration as problematic, but I do know Dr Greger has lessened his stance. He had recommended to avoid fortified yeast as a precaution, now is ok with it. I just prefer non fortified because it's so much tastier. I didn't call fortified 'cheesey' at all, but I do the non fortified.

As for only two companies making non gmo, that's bunk too! This is mine-
