Is Nutritional Yeast good? I have read both bad and good according to Dr. Peat.

I have not tried for long, I seemed to be allergic to it, maybe it has gluten....

I think it depends on what substrate it has been grown on? Sometimes it's fed wheat and barley, sometimes molasses?

I would suggest anything grown on grains like barley/wheat etc, would potentially have contamination of things like gluten, pesticides etc. Nutritionally I'm sure the yeast is just as full of b-vits. I have never tested myself, this is all theory!

I feel like the amount of iron it contains is fortified and may cause issues where the iron can accumulate in the blood.
