Hi, Melissa .. congratulations on getting into the school, and my condolences on your URI. In answer to your question on Brewer's Yeast, here is what my class notes on nutrition say: " Nutritional yeast (Brewer's Yeast) can be mixed with food or juice or water. It is an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, amino acids and at least 14 different minerals. It is especially high in chromium which makes it effective in improving blood sugar metabolism and in reducing serum cholestorol levels. *IT IS ONE OF THE BEST IMMUNE-ENHANCING SUPPLEMENTS AVAILABLE IN FOOD FORM* Also, brewer's yeast helps in wound healing due to increased production of collagen, and it has antioxidant properties which also enhance healing." Hope this helps! - Ela ___ ___ (000)___(000) Ela Heyn / @ @ \ [log in to unmask] | | ======@====== http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5483 [Posted in FML issue 2304]
