This comes from the notes from my Nutrition class: "Brewer's yeast 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 cholesterol levels. It is one of the best immune-enhancing supplements available in food form. It helps in wound healing due to increased production of collagen. It has antioxidant properties which also enhance healing. It improves skin texture and is helpful in removing blemishes so it has been used as a natural facial mask." Personally, I get the brand *without* added garlic due to the danger of Heinz body anemia to my pets. (I have an article on garlic/onion toxicity from the JAVMA, if you would be interested.) - Ela ___ ___ (000)___(000) Ela Heyn / @ @ \ [log in to unmask] | | ======@====== http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5483 [Posted in FML issue 2350]
