I have a general heuristic in my diet of "if you need to process ten thousand of something to get the amount you want to eat, don't do that."
What about yeast? This seems like a silly heuristic.
I'm not at all confident eating lots of yeast is great for our gut bacteria.
Replace yeast/bread with yogurt, then.
it would be reasonable for, by yourself, to create yogurt. It would not be reasonable for you by yourself to produce canola oil.
And how is this relevant to the discussion?
one is processing 10,000 of something to get an edible amount. One is letting some warm milk sit with a starter culture.
Perhaps the reference is to "nutritional yeast", which are all dead, and won't impact your gut bacteria aside from being provided with more nutrients.
I was thinking of bread, actually. Not that bread is the greatest for you, but the problem isn't the yeast (which are dead, anyway).
