To a person accustomed to use yeast bread and for the first time hearing about its danger, it is rather difficult to understand why yeast is harmful. After all, loaves, buns, pies surround us everywhere, and, it seems, cannot cause any deviations in health. Yes we are, modern people we suffer from a greater number of diseases than our ancestors, who did not eat industrial yeast, but in addition to this factor, others are obvious - environmental degradation, the spread of bad habits, a sedentary lifestyle, etc. Therefore, let's not rashly blame yeast dough for all the world's troubles. +

The difficulty of proving statements about the harm or harmlessness of yeast lies in the fact that these microorganisms are not natural, natural, and quite often one has to face the opinion of various experts about the thermophilicity of yeast fungi. In other words, unlike natural yeast, artificial yeast does not break down at high temperatures and begins to multiply in the body, taking nutrients from humans. There is no scientific evidence for this point of view, and yet many gastroenterologists recommend that their patients switch to yeast-free bread... Is yeast really bad for your health?

Consider the main reasons people talk about harm yeast dough and baking based on it. If the yeast does not die when high temperaturessome have argued that the consequences of their activities are indeed dire. So, how can baker's yeast be harmful to humans:

1) They "steal" the trace elements we need .

Yeast is a fungus that multiplies exponentially, entering the intestines, which is an excellent breeding ground for it. For life, yeast needs carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which they begin to receive from human food. The result can be a deficiency of essential trace elements in the body.

2) Yeast cells disrupt the natural balance of intestinal microflora .

A healthy gut is the foundation of a strong immune system. The imbalance of the intestinal microflora towards "bad" bacteria leads to a weakening of the immune defense. Aggressive yeast fungi, which multiply in the intestine at a tremendous speed, contribute to the development of putrefactive flora, which, together with the yeast, displaces beneficial bacteria from the intestinal mycelium. As a result, not only the assimilation of nutrients from food worsens, but also human health in general.

Among other things, yeast, like all other fungi, in the process of life, produce antibiotics, which also have a destructive effect on the normal intestinal microflora.

3) As a result of alcoholic fermentation, harmful substances are formed .

By-products of fermentation are fusel oil, acetoin (acetylmethylcarbinol), diacetyl, butyraldehyde, isoamyl alcohol, dimethyl sulfide, etc. These substances are toxic, but it is they who give the resulting bread the familiar taste and aroma.

4) Yeast acidifies the body .

5) Baker's yeast production technology includes the use of heavy metals and other harmful chemical elements.

According to GOST 171-81 for "pressed baker's yeast" their production provides for the use of 36 types of main and 20 types of auxiliary raw materials.
Here is a short list:

• commercial ammonium sulfate, obtained in the production of sulfur dioxide;
• ammonium sulfate purified in accordance with GOST 10873;
• ammonia water technical grade B (for industry) in accordance with GOST 9;
• thermal orthophosphoric acid according to GOST 10678;
• technical sulfuric acid according to GOST 2184 (improved) or battery acid according to GOST 667
• technical potassium carbonate (potash) according to GOST 10690 of the first grade;
• potassium chloride technical according to NTD;
• caustic magnesite powder in accordance with GOST 1216;
• technical sulfuric acid according to GOST 2184 (contact improved grades A and B) or battery acid according to GOST 667;
• micronutrient fertilizer for agriculture in the southern regions of the USSR;
• defoamers;
• disinfectants:
• bleach in accordance with GOST 1692;
• building lime in accordance with GOST 9179;
• bleaching lime (heat-resistant);
• technical caustic soda according to GOST 2263;
• soda ash (technical) according to GOST 5100;
• technical formalin according to GOST 1625;
• boric acid according to GOST 9656;
• furacilin;
• furazolidone;
• sulfonol NP-3;
• catapin (bactericidal);
• detergent liquid "Progress";
• technical hydrochloric acid according to NTD;
• hydrochloric acid from rectified hydrogen chloride, grade B according to NTD, etc.

Even to a person far from knowledge of chemistry, such a list will certainly seem creepy. Microfertilizers for agriculture in the southern regions and others, by no means food substancesused in the production of yeast, saturate the human body with metals, including heavy metals (copper, zinc, magnesium, molybdenum, cobalt), as well as phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen and other chemical elements that have questionable benefit... The role of such dangerous "ingredients" in yeast production is not explained in any corresponding manual or reference book.

Many experts speak about the danger of eating the bread we are used to. Professor Larbert at the Second World Congress of Herbal Medicine in Prague (1990) expressed his opinion about a number of disorders caused by long-term consumption of refined white yeast bread. The complex of health problems it causes is called hemoglyasis and is characterized by headaches, drowsiness, increased blood viscosity, impaired digestion, irritability, slow thinking, and decreased sexual activity.

In addition to Larbert, other scientists also wrote about the negative effect of yeast on the human body: Rosini Gianfranco ("The presence of a killing feature of yeast", "Canadian Journal of Microbiology", 1983, No. 10), G. Bassi and D. A. Sherman (Killing factor , - Biochemistry, Biophysics, 1973, No. 298, p. 868-879), S.A. Konovalov ("Biochemistry of yeast", 1962, M., Pishchepromizdat, pp. 13-14), correspondent of "Izvestia" L. Volodin (Paris, February 27 by phone, published on February 28, p. 4), Rubin B.A. (Fermentation, - BME, vol. 3, 1976, p. 383-384), V.M. Dilman ("Four models of medicine", L., Medicine, 1987. pp. 40-42, 214-215), Marilyn Diamond, Donald Schnell, (USA "Acid-base balance"), V. Mikhailov, L. Trushkina ( "Food is a serious matter" M., "Young Guard", 1988, pp. 5-7), academicians F. Uglov, B. Iskakov, N. Dubinin (works of the Plekhanov Institute of Economics), French professor Etienne Wolf and many others.

IN AND. Grinev draws attention to the fact that in the USA, Sweden and other countries, yeast-free bread has become a common occurrence and is recommended as one of the means of preventing and treating cancer.

The existence of yeast was discovered back in the 19th century by the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur. Since then, they have been popular all over the world. They are used to prepare all kinds of pastries and drinks. At the same time, few people think about the harm and benefits of yeast.

What is yeast and what types are there

Yeast is called unicellular fungi... In nature, there are more than 1,500 varieties of such microorganisms. They are highly adaptable to adverse environmental conditions, for example, they thrive in the absence of oxygen.

Fungi are widely used in industry and medicine. This is largely due to their ability to reproduce quickly. But not all types can be used. Some of them are considered pathogenic, as they cause various diseases in humans.

4 types of fungi are currently used for food production:

1. Bakery. With their addition, delicious aromatic bread, various buns and other pastries. They are the ones who betray finished product airiness, volume and special structure.
2. Wine. They can be seen on bunches of ripe grapes. It is thanks to such fungi that the fruit fermentation process takes place, which subsequently leads to the appearance of wine.
3. Beer houses. They are used for making drinks, baked goods and medications.
4. Dairy. With their help, the process of fermentation of milk and the preparation of fermented milk products is carried out.

All varieties of this product are different unique composition, therefore, their use is necessary for a person.

Wine yeast is a natural whitish coating on bunch of grapes... Therefore, before preparing wine, grapes must not be washed.

What's in yeast

Yeast is a low-calorie food. They are 60% protein. The human body assimilates them easily. The nutritional value of such fungi is comparable to that of meat or fish.

Baker's yeast is especially rich in composition. They contain the following substances:

• Vitamin B1. He participates in the metabolism, regulates the work of the nervous system.
• Vitamin B2. This substance helps to fight skin diseases and improve visual acuity.
• Vitamin B3. Takes part in the construction of body cells, the work of the endocrine glands and the nervous system.
• Vitamin B6. It helps the body to absorb nutrients more quickly, takes part in the metabolism.
• Vitami PP. Experts have found that this substance is able to prevent the development of cancer. In addition, it fights manifestations allergic reaction.
• Vitamin D. Participates in the process of phosphorus-calcium metabolism.
• Biotin or vitamin H. It has a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair. They become thicker and more voluminous.
• Minerals: iron, magnesium, potassium, iodine, copper and others.
• Lecithin. Participates in the construction of cell membranes, normalizes the concentration of cholesterol in the blood.

This is not a complete list of valuable substances that are contained in baker's yeast. Dairy products have a similar composition, but they also contain probiotics that are necessary for the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

The beneficial qualities of baker's yeast

It is this type of fungi that we consume every day. They have an impressive list of positive qualities. The benefits of yeast for the body are as follows:

1. Helps strengthen the immune system. They contain beta-glucans, which are considered natural immunostimulants.
2. Enrich intestinal microflora... Thanks to this, the digestion process is getting better. They increase the production of gastric juice, which leads to complete and rapid digestion of food.
3. They have an antioxidant effect. They neutralize factors that lead to cell oxidation. This helps to slow down the aging process.
4. Reduces the concentration of harmful cholesterol in the blood.
5. Help relieve constipation.
6. They have the ability to lower blood pressure.
7. Some experts believe that yeast is beneficial for people with a predisposition to cancer. They are especially effective for the prevention of pancreatic cancer.
8. After consuming yeast, the skin becomes smooth and clean, the hair gains volume and becomes silky, the nail plates stop exfoliating.

Fungi can be used as an external remedy. With their help, it is possible to cope with acne, seborrhea, eczema, burns and dermatitis. Healing masks for face and hair are prepared on their basis.

It is enough for a person to consume from five to seven grams of this product per day. In some cases, it is recommended to increase the dosage. Yeast is recommended for people with reduced immunity, under constant stress, suffering from anemia, skin diseases, oncology, and digestive problems.

For medicinal purposes, fungi are consumed in the form of a drink. To do this, they are bred in a small amount of warm water. You can add some sugar, bran or other ingredients to improve taste characteristics... Such a drink must necessarily be drunk by vegetarians to replenish the deficiency of protein and other nutrients.

The beneficial properties of yeast are lost when they are heated above 60 degrees. Therefore, baking does not have such positive qualities.

Harmful qualities of baker's yeast

Yeast fungus also has harmful qualities for the body. Among them are:

The harm of yeast to the human body also lies in the fact that in their modern production, salts of heavy metals and other toxic substances can be used. Although this product has low calorie content it is not recommended to use it for people suffering from overweight. The fact is that it has the ability to increase appetite, which can provoke overeating.

Contraindications

In some cases, the use of such a product can cause serious harm to health. It is better to refuse them in the presence of the following diseases:

• Allergic reactions.
• Renal failure
• Gout.
• Dysbacteriosis.
• Individual intolerance.

Yeast in a woman's body can provoke the development of candidiasis. Therefore, their use is possible only under the supervision of a gynecologist.

Dry yeast

Today, it is very problematic to find live yeast on sale. The most popular dry product is sold in small sachets. Dried fungi are small round granules. Their shelf life can be up to two years. At the same time, all useful properties are preserved in them. In order for them to become active, it is enough to dilute them in warm water or milk.

Dry yeast is useful for anemia and as a means to strengthen the immune system. They contain a large number of squirrel. They are not recommended for use in case of gout, dysbiosis, as well as acute diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Features of brewer's yeast

Brewer's yeast is used not only in the production of beer, but also for the manufacture of cosmetic and medical supplies... They have excellent cleansing, anti-aging and healing properties.

This type of fungus is often used to heal hair. It is believed that he is able to make the hairstyle lush and attractive. But most experts disagree with this opinion. Their use can provoke an allergic reaction and cause severe dandruff.

Brewer's yeast can be purchased today in tablet form. Manufacturers claim that they can have the following effects on the body:

• Promote fast typing muscle mass.
• Increase efficiency and enhance the activity of the brain.
• They cleanse the body of toxins and toxins.
• Eliminate the effects of stress, as they have a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system.
• Reduces the concentration of cholesterol.

Such drugs are indicated for people suffering from diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, problems with the nervous system. Contraindications to their use are pregnancy, kidney disease, individual intolerance to the components, treatment with the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, antidepressants or pain relievers.

Features of milk yeast

Unlike other varieties, milk yeast is a valuable product for the body. They contain enzymes necessary for the normal functioning of the body. They have a positive effect on the work of the intestines, help to strengthen the immune system.

Milk fungi are found in kefir, fermented baked milk, whey, yogurt and other fermented milk products. They can become harmful only with excessive use. But if you drink them in moderation, the benefits will be invaluable.

How to store yeast properly

Live yeast is a product that requires special conditions storage. The purchased briquette must be kept at a temperature of 0 to 4 degrees. If you leave them at room temperature, then they will be usable for no more than a day. When stored in the refrigerator, the shelf life is extended to four weeks.

You can extend the shelf life of compressed yeast by crumbling and mixing with flour. Let the mixture dry. To do this, spread it out on clean thick paper. Make sure the product is suitable before use.

Freezing is another way to store yeast. To do this, the briquette must be freed from the wrapper, cut into small pieces. Wrap each of them in foil. Fold all the packages into one plastic bag and tie it tightly. Put in the freezer. The product will remain good for up to six months.

Dry yeast does not require special storage conditions. In a sealed package, they remain valid for one and a half years. Keep them in a slightly cool place. Make sure that the package is not exposed to direct sunlight. If the bag is already opened, the shelf life of the product is reduced to two weeks. In this case, it is better to pour the yeast into dry glass jar, seal tightly with a lid and refrigerate. In this state, they can remain usable for up to six months.

What harm can ordinary yeast do to the human body?

Who doesn't love to feast on warm crispy bread? And these fresh vanilla buns? All this is somewhat reminiscent of our distant carefree years. Will the childhood of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren be just as joyful?

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about yeast, the benefits and harms of which are being questioned. Society split in two large groups... The first believes that they are useful for the human body, while others adhere to the opposite point of view.

Before taking the side of this or that opinion, you need to carefully understand the issue. Or maybe even conduct an experiment on yourself.

What is yeast called?

15 hundred varieties of unicellular fungi are united under the concept of "yeast". They freely exist in nature, mainly on the surface of berries and fruits.

Yeast is very adaptable to its environment. They can live with or without oxygen.

A characteristic feature unicellular fungi is a high rate of growth and reproduction. This led to their widespread use in the food industry.

Today there are 4 types of yeast known. These are wine, beer, dairy and bakery. The latter are divided, in turn, into 3 more types: dry, pressed, yeast starter cultures.

Dry yeast is widely used in cooking. They are more convenient and their shelf life is much longer. One sachet of the product weighing 11 grams is equivalent to 50 grams pressed.

But all these varieties of yeast, whether dry or otherwise, are not real. They were developed by scientists to optimize the bakery process.

Only our ancestors used natural yeast. The process of baking bread in those days was a whole ceremony. It was prepared from high quality whole grain flour on a pre-prepared sourdough: rye, wheat, malt, hop. Therefore, bread then had completely different taste qualities, and real yeast, no doubt, was useful for the human body.

As for the quality of current flour products, it leaves much to be desired. Pure white flour with various additives and the artificial yeast is doing its job.

Does a person need yeast?

According to the official data of traditional medicine, the benefits of yeast for our body are great. They are considered to be a universal biologically active food supplement. They contain about 66% proteins, various acids, vitamins, trace elements, which are undoubtedly useful for humans.

Despite the fact that the yeast product has a beneficial effect on the work of the gastrointestinal tract, doctors still do not recommend using it under certain circumstances. For example, dry ones should not be used for dysbiosis and others. acute diseases.

Speaking about the value of yeast, it should also be added that it can be beneficial for vegetarians. The yeast product perfectly compensates for the lack of protein and vitamin B in the human body.

Side effects from consuming yeast

Many (including doctors) believe that the harm of yeast is much more than the benefit. This is especially true for bakeries.

Artificially derived products are assigned such a concept as "thermophilicity". This means that they are resistant to high temperatures and do not die during baking.

Yeast is popularly called killers. Penetrating safe and sound inside, they poison healthy and unprotected cells with poisonous substances, which subsequently leads to their death.

In this case, it cannot be said that such products are good for our body. On the contrary, the harm of baker's yeast can lead to irreversible consequences.

The dangers of these products are as follows:

• High content heavy metals and chemical elements harmful to the human body. This is due to the technology of their production. And it is based on 56 types of main and auxiliary raw materials. And these are far from food substances. See for yourself: building lime, technical potassium carbonate, liquid detergent and the like.
• Yeast depletes the human body. Fungi entering the intestines begin to multiply actively. They are nourished by vitamins and minerals that come to a person with food. Thus, the body receives less useful elements, which leads to their deficiency and against this background to various diseases.
• They violate the intestinal microflora. The high reproduction rate of fungi leads to the appearance of a putrid flora. As a result, beneficial bacteria die in the intestines. The consequence of this is a violation of the assimilation of vitamins and microelements, a weakening of the immune system.
• Baker's yeast in a duet with flour, they can disrupt the acid-base balance. Excessive consumption of buns can lead to the formation of an acidic environment, which is fraught with chronic constipation, gastritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis.
• Reduces calcium levels. Doctors sound the alarm. Due to the presence of microbial and fungal flora, the composition of the blood changes over time. If earlier 12 units of calcium were considered quite normal in children, now three units are enough.
• Fungi contribute to impaired blood circulation, are the cause of thrombosis.
• Stimulates the growth of malignant tumors. This judgment was proved by a scientific experiment conducted by the French scientist Etienne Wolf. He placed cancerous tumor into a yeast solution. Within one week, it increased 3 times. After the tumor was removed from the solution, it died.
• Yeast fungi cause diseases of the heart, lungs, and liver.

Whether to include bread or other yeast-containing foods in your daily diet is up to everyone to decide. Take some time and observe how your body reacts to them. If you see malfunctions, then try to abandon yeast bread for a while.

Is yeast harmful to humans? Opinion of doctors

"Yeast inhibits healthy intestinal microflora", "increases the risk of developing cancer", "poison the body with decay products" - scare Internet publications, as if it were not about food, but about nuclear weapons. With trembling hands, we compiled a list of horror stories and went with it to the experts - for the truth, confirmed by scientific knowledge.

Yeast is harmless

Yulia Bastrigina, nutritionist, Nutrilite brand expert:

“It is rather strange to be afraid of yeast - they are present literally everywhere and surround a person from the first years of life. Plums and grapes, for example, are covered with microscopic bodies of yeast (the same white bloom on fruits), microorganisms can be found in flour, live on the skin. But the most that yeast can do is cause a little bloating. The gut's own microbiocenosis is excellently suited to combat potentially dangerous fungi and microbes (which, of course, baker's yeast does not belong to) and, as a rule, does an excellent job at this job.

In addition, heat treatment during baking (+ 96… 98 ºС) leads to cell death. Even if the temperature does not reach such values, you should know that protein organisms (I mean yeast) denature at 60 ºС. "

FACT: It is from yeast that B vitamins are obtained, which are necessary for the regulation of all types of metabolism, the work of the nervous system, and hematopoiesis. Plus they contain 16 different amino acids. The perfect team to build and repair muscle!

In their reception, you need to know when to stop

David Matevosov, Head of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Clinical Hospital on Yauza, member of the Russian and European Associations for the Study of the Liver; Ph.D.:

“What does modern medicine have to say about nutritional yeast? First: their moderate consumption in combination with lecithin, it can lower cholesterol and relieve pain from neuritis. Second: no matter what Internet experts say, today there is no scientifically substantiated evidence that yeast causes or provokes the formation tumor cells in a person.

Third: in medical practice are actively used medicinal qualities yeast fungi. For example, one of the leading probiotic preparations for the treatment of intestinal microflora Saccharomyces boulardii is one of our heroes. This type of yeast in combination with Helicobacter pylori therapy together with an antibiotic increases the effectiveness of gastritis treatment. The excess content of yeast fungi in products leads to suppression of the beneficial intestinal microflora, predisposing a person to excessive gas formation, colic, and stool disorders. Therefore, the main recommendation when using yeast and products containing it is moderation. Then the living bacterial component will be beneficial and will not turn into an aggressor. "

FACT: Yeast from the genus Candida, which is part of healthy human microflora, can become pathogenic. This happens with their massive development against the background of weakened immunity, taking antibiotics, and surgical intervention in the body.

Yeast can be helpful

Lyubov Zinovieva, dermatocosmetologist, member of the Society of Aesthetic Medicine, expert at Herbalife:

“Autolyzed brewer's yeast is an extremely useful nutritional supplement. During their transformation into tablets and powders, the living structure of microorganisms is destroyed, which eliminates the danger of fermentation. At the same time, all biologically valuable substances and useful properties are preserved.

In particular, brewer's yeast is rich in essential for health nucleic acids, B vitamins, vitamin E. Thanks to this composition, supplements improve hair and nail growth, promote tissue regeneration and healing - this can be said with confidence. We cosmetologists recommend brewer's yeast for the treatment of acne blemishes and acne: quality mineral composition drugs helps to normalize sebum secretion. "

FACT: For vegetarians, autolyzed brewer's yeast can be a good source of protein. 30 g of powdered product contains 15 g of protein. + In America, nutritional yeast is used as the basis for the production of vegetarian pâtés.

Yeast - harm and benefit, composition

Yeast is a living microorganism that people have long been "domesticated". The unique properties and benefits of yeast were discovered many thousands of years ago. It is known for certain that in Ancient Egypt in 1200 BC. bakers baked not only unleavened bread, but also yeast bread. The Egyptians learned to brew beer with yeast even earlier, in 6000 BC. e. At the same time, the selection of yeast began, which led to the creation of new, hitherto non-existent cultures of microorganisms.

The microbiologist Pasteur officially "discovered" the yeast only in 1857. In 1881, the first pure yeast culture was isolated in Denmark. And already at the end of the 19th century, cultivated yeast began to be used for the production of beer and baking bread. In total, there are more than 1,500 varieties of these unicellular fungi in the world. But in our diet we use only 4 of them: brewer's, bakery, milk and wine yeast. Baker's yeast is widely used for baking fluffy bread and bakery products... Brewer's yeast is found in live beer. But wine yeast can be found in nature in the form of a plaque on grape bunches, but in wine they are not. Milk yeast, along with lactobacilli, can be found in all fermented milk products prepared with natural ferments.

Yeast chemistry

All yeast is good for human health and is great dietary productcontaining live cultures, microorganisms and bacteria. Yeast - protein product, the protein content in it reaches 66%. The proteins included in the yeast are perfectly absorbed by the body and are not inferior in quality to the proteins of meat, milk or fish. More than 10% of yeast is occupied by amino acids. Yeast is a rich source of minerals, amino acids and vitamins. They contain potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, B vitamins, vitamins H, P, folic and para-aminobenzoic acids, as well as methionine and lecithin. Milk yeast, which is part of fermented milk products, is a probiotic. Invaluable benefit yeast of this type is the ability to maintain the balance of intestinal microflora.

The benefits and harms of yeast

Why are they useful?

Brewery and bread yeast are universal dietary supplements, it is recommended to include them in food in the form of drinks for anemia and low-calorie diet. Yeast is very useful for skin diseases - acne, furunculosis, dermatitis. They contribute to the rapid healing of wounds and burns, in general, they have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin. Yeast improves the secretion of the stomach glands and the intestinal absorption capacity. Therefore, they are prescribed for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases: ulcers, gastritis, colitis, enterocolitis, decreased gastrointestinal tone and poor secretion of the digestive glands.

For the treatment and prevention of diseases, yeast must be mixed with water, sugar, bran and other additives, and taken as a drink. When heated above 60 C, any yeast dies, and therefore it is unlikely that it will be possible to "heal" and get any health-improving effect from yeast bread baked at high temperatures. Dairy products with milk yeast effectively strengthens the immune system and normalizes bowel function. Yeast is also very useful for external use - they are used to prepare nourishing masksthat make hair beautiful and lush.

Contraindications

Despite all the benefits of yeast, there are contraindications to their use. You can not take yeast if you are prone to allergies, kidney disease, gout, dysbiosis, endocrine disorders and individual intolerance to the product. The intake of yeast by women should be under the supervision of a gynecologist, as they can provoke the occurrence of thrush.

Baker's yeast - benefits and harms

Yeast is used in bakery products as a baking powder. It is thanks to them that flour products are so airy and porous. Baker's yeast has a very bad reputation that completely overshadowed its few beneficial properties. Let's try to figure out what benefits and harms baker's yeast brings.

Is yeast good for the body?

Baker's yeast is 66% protein and 10% amino acids. They contain a large amount of micro and macro elements, B vitamins, and essential fatty acids. They help to normalize metabolism, restore the body after mental and physical activity, stress resistance, increased immunity and improved appetite. And that's not all that yeast is useful for the body. They help in blood formation, normalize the digestive tract and liver, and improve the quality of hair, nails and skin.

Harm to baker's yeast

The main harm of bread is associated precisely with the use of yeast dough for its preparation. Once in the body, the yeast expands, causing bloating, constipation, and indigestion. From the digestive system, they enter the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body. Yeast helps to increase the permeability of cells, as a result of which viruses and pathogens, which suppress beneficial bacteria, are more easily attacked. Bakery yeast makes the stomach acidic, as a result of which the absorption of calcium by the body is disturbed. This product, together with starch, can become one of the causes of gastritis, stomach ulcers, gallstones and liver stones. Some scientists prove the relationship between yeast bread and education cancer cells, but, despite these studies, the technology for the manufacture of bakery products remains unchanged.

Brewer's yeast - benefits and harms to the body

Many people know such a popular drink as beer. Excessive consumption of this foamy drink has a detrimental effect on the figure. But we are talking about today's beer when it is used in its production. great amount substandard and harmful products. In ancient times, beer was the most valuable drink, which gave health to a person, and even contributed to weight loss. Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is producing a biological food additive - brewer's yeast, the benefits and harms of which have already been thoroughly studied and verified by numerous studies.

Brewer's yeast. What is it?

Brewer's yeast is a group of fungi that belong to the yeast variety. Thanks to these single-celled organisms, an active fermentation process takes place. A similar process is used in the manufacture of beer, because thanks to it, the drink is filled with strength and excellent taste.

In modern times, the pharmaceutical industry has successfully begun the production of brewer's yeast, which are presented in the form of ordinary tablets, but in fact are a unique storehouse of vitamins and minerals.

Brewer's yeast tablets: benefits and harms, reviews of women and doctors

Having bought a beautiful colored box of brewer's yeast at the pharmacy, it is always a pleasure to discuss with your friends the need for such an acquisition. However, you cannot spend your hard-earned money and at the same time not at least once doubt the benefits of the purchased product. In this regard, we decided to highlight the quivering topic for many ladies - "Brewer's yeast in tablets: benefits and harms."

Dedicated to vitamin deficiency, laziness and apathy

It's already 7 in the morning and it's time to get up for work, but you have no strength? It also happens that there is not even a desire to perform elementary actions, such as taking a shower and making breakfast. And ordinary small joys do not bring enthusiastic feelings.

Laziness and apathy can be a signal that the body simply lacks vitamins. In this case, it makes sense not only to drink the vitamin complex, but also to strengthen the body from the inside, paying special attention to the vitamins of the B group. and semi-finished products.

If there are not enough nutrients in your diet, the symptoms of their deficiency will periodically bother you. It will be useful for such "deprived" of vitamins citizens to drink a course of brewer's yeast. In addition to vitamin doping, the use of yeast complexes will help get rid of a number of problems. For example, due to the active action of amino acids, calcium and phosphorus, which are part of brewer's yeast, the following processes are established in the body:

• Bone and muscle tissue is strengthened, especially in the thoracic spine. Due to this, the risk of developing serious heart and liver diseases is significantly reduced.
• There is an active cell renewal and rejuvenation of the body from the inside.
• Along with the saturation of brain cells with vitamins, the psychological component also returns to normal. Nervousness decreases, the ability to withstand stress increases, and mood improves. That is why brewer's yeast is recommended for women with pronounced premenstrual syndrome.
• Chromium, which is in the supplement, normalizes the level of insulin in the blood and thereby allows you to control the sugar content. This drug can be a discovery for diabetics.

• Digestion improves, appetite and metabolism increase. Thanks to this, it is recommended to drink brewer's yeast in tablets for weight gain, while subcutaneous fat does not accumulate, and all the energy received goes into muscle mass.

It has been proven that, unlike our usual baker's yeast, beer is well digested gastrointestinal tract and do not call side effects in the form of bloating, diarrhea and other bowel disorders.

In addition, yeast vitamin complexes have been successfully used for a long time in the treatment of low stomach acidity. They act as an effective stimulator of the secretory function of the stomach, due to which the production of gastric juice begins intensively, and even more than when eating rye bread, broths and milk.

What is good for one person can be poison for another

However, brewer's yeast in tablets does not always have such positive reviews from doctors. So, doctors recommend that the following categories of people forget about the existence of such a drug forever:

• with individual intolerance to the components;
• at increased concentration in the blood, urine and mucous membranes of conditionally pathogenic fungi of the genus Candida;
• with gout;
• if there are stones and sand in the kidneys, as well as during the period of treatment for cholecystitis;
• during pregnancy and lactation.

Consumer opinion: is it that important?

Often, when choosing a particular food supplement, many of us are guided by the advice and recommendations of friends and acquaintances. And doctors are always skeptical about such a choice, that in most cases the reaction is absolutely correct. You cannot buy nasal drops or cough medicine based only on the questionable opinions of other consumers. Perhaps the only exception to the rule is vitamin yeast supplements.

If you do not have the above abnormalities in the body, you do not expect a baby to be born and do not breastfeed a newborn, it will be quite normal to listen to the opinion of other people when choosing a drug. So, if you draw a parallel between various women's forums, you will notice the following pattern:

• There are favorable reviews about brewer's yeast with calcium and magnesium to strengthen hair and nails. Women claim that with regular intake of dietary supplements, the hair becomes silky, the hair is less tangled, and the nails are significantly strengthened.
• Brewer's yeast with sulfur, according to many reviews, will help with acne. For a month's course of the drug, the skin will be significantly cleared, redness, peeling and itching will disappear.

• Since the preparation contains alimentary fiber, it is often used for problems with bowel movements. So, brewer's yeast began to be regularly consumed by people suffering from constipation and poor absorption of nutrients.

In conclusion, all that remains is to summarize. What has won in today's confrontation - benefit or harm? Undoubtedly, brewer's yeast is a dietary supplement. And like all drugs of this type, they cannot be used by everyone indiscriminately, therefore it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor before buying, and possibly undergo an examination. In general, brewer's yeast is extremely beneficial for the body, especially if you suffer from seasonal depression, lack of energy or low immunity.

Many people daily encounter products obtained as a result of the vital activity of yeast - these are bread, wine, beer. Everyone knows about the benefits, but few thought about the dangers of yeast. Doctors and scientists have proven that these microscopic organisms are capable of working not only for the benefit of humans. So which is more - good or bad? Should people consume yeast?

Types and properties

Yeast is a microscopic, unicellular fungus that has been known to mankind for over 5000 years. IN modern science they were identified as living things by the Frenchman Charles Canyard de La Tour. And 20 years later, another Frenchman, Louis Pasteur, finally proved that yeast is living organisms that cause biological processes (fermentation).

Many types of yeasts and yeast-like fungi are known. Some of them are capable of working for the benefit of humanity, while others cause unpleasant phenomena (spoilage of food, diseases).

Popular types of yeast:

• baking - a special type of microorganisms used in the preparation of bread and pastries, act as baking powder;
• beer houses;
• wine - are on the surface of fresh grapes (in the form of a whitish bloom);
• fodder - made from substrates of the oil and plant industries;
• food is deactivated yeast. They do not induce fermentation processes and are used in.

These fungi are good for humans. They are used in the food, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries. Fermented foods have become an integral part of everyday life.

But there are also pathogenic types of yeast-like fungi. They cause various diseases in living organisms.

• Yeast of the genus Candida. They are opportunistic. In healthy organisms, they do not cause pathology, but in weakened ones (by illness, surgery) they can provoke candidiasis (thrush).
• Microorganisms of the genus Malassezia are found on the surface of the epidermis. Cause pityriasis versicolor (pityriasis) and seborrheic dermatitis.
• Cryptococcus neoformans - cause an infectious process. The central nervous system, respiratory center and mucous membranes are affected.

Kombucha should be considered separately. This is a special combination of yeast fungi with the genus of acetic acid bacteria. In a nutrient medium ( sweet tea) they enter into symbiosis and form a slimy thick film on the surface of the liquid. This is the "body" of the mushroom. ethnoscience attributes medicinal properties to kombucha: anti-atherosclerotic effect, ability to resist microbes, increased gastrointestinal secretion and increased general immunity.

Benefit and harm

The table, which presents the main aspects of the effects of yeast, will help to understand the value and harmful effects of single-celled organisms.

Yeast Bread Myths

In modern media, articles and reports now and then pop up that yeast bread is extremely dangerous for people and animals. Is it really?

The most famous myths about this product are worth considering.

• Myth number 1. “With a large amount of bread used yeast actively reproduce in the intestine. "

When baked under the influence of high temperatures, unicellular fungi are inactivated and lose their ability to reproduce.

• Myth number 2. "They get fat from yeast bread."

Excess weight does not appear from a specific type of flour products, but from the amount eaten. For example, if you eat 500 g of lavash ( yeast-free cakes), the benefits will be much less than 100 g of white bread.

• Myth number 3. "Bread and baked goods accelerate the aging process."

The aging of the body is caused by toxins and toxins. These toxins are formed by the deposition of mucus on the intestinal walls. And mucus occurs during the digestion of refined (highly purified) flour. It does not contain vitamins and minerals, but is enriched food preservatives... Again, if you eat these foods in moderation, there will be no consequences for the body.

But what about the old days? When did the Russian people eat bread and there were no consequences? The answer is simple - the way yeast is produced has changed. Previously, they were obtained by the method of sourdough milled barley and malt. Bread made with such raw materials was fragrant and did not stale for a long time. It was made from coarse rye and barley flour, has been enriched with trace elements, vitamins and fiber.

Modern baked goods are prepared using thermophilic yeast. Thermophilic yeast (saccharomycetes) is a special type of fungus grown artificially. They are able to withstand the effects of temperatures (44-47 ° C). They are produced quite toxic: the lime bleaching process is followed by the oxidation process with sulfuric acid. Entering the human body in large quantities, thermophilic raw materials cause signs of general intoxication (dizziness, weakness), decreased immunity. Not so long ago, scientists proved that large quantities Saccharomyces provoke the growth of cancer cells!

It is against the products rich in saccharomycetes that the public rebelles. Supporters healthy eating motivate the population to return "to the roots" - cooking from whole grain flour. Such products not only do no harm, but also cleanse the intestines with the help of fiber.

Benefits of yeast for body beauty

Experts' opinions

In medicine, there is still no consensus regarding yeast fungi. According to one group of doctors, unicellular fungi pose no clear danger. healthy peoplebut can affect weakened organisms. According to other experts, only natural yeast is considered useful, and all those that were bred by humans pose a clear threat.

There is no consensus on this issue. All yeast are not dangerous microorganisms, but they cannot be called completely harmless either. The benefits and harms of one or another type of yeast fungi depend on the situation, the state of health of the living organism and many external factors. But doctors give several recommendations that will minimize the harmful effects of yeast and yeast-like fungi.

1. limit the use of baking thermophilic yeast to a minimum;
2. use brewer's yeast in tablet form only as directed by a doctor;
3. with a tendency to allergic reactions, refrain from eating food and brewer's yeast;
4. give preference to poultry and meat grown on natural raw materials, and not on oil refined products;

Only an adequate approach to the nutrition process will ensure health and vitality. Abuse of any product can lead to negative consequences... The main rule is to observe the measure in everything. Do not overuse bakery, alcoholic products and be healthy!

Yeast is a living microorganism that people have long been "domesticated". The unique properties and benefits of yeast were discovered many thousands of years ago. It is known for certain that in Ancient Egypt in 1200 BC. bakers baked not only unleavened bread, but also yeast bread. The Egyptians learned to brew beer with yeast even earlier, in 6000 BC. e. At the same time, the selection of yeast began, which led to the creation of new, hitherto non-existent cultures of microorganisms.

The microbiologist Pasteur officially "discovered" the yeast only in 1857. In 1881, the first pure yeast culture was isolated in Denmark. And already at the end of the 19th century, cultivated yeast began to be used for the production of beer and baking bread. In total, there are more than 1,500 varieties of these unicellular fungi in the world. But in our diet we use only 4 of them: brewer's, bakery, milk and wine yeast. Baker's yeast is widely used to bake fluffy breads and baked goods. Brewer's yeast is found in live beer. But wine yeast can be found in nature in the form of a plaque on grape bunches, but in wine they are not. Milk yeast, along with lactobacilli, can be found in all fermented milk products prepared with natural ferments.

Yeast chemistry

All yeast is good for human health and is an excellent dietary product containing live cultures, microorganisms and bacteria. Yeast is a protein product, the protein content in it reaches 66%. The proteins included in the yeast are perfectly absorbed by the body and are not inferior in quality to the proteins of meat, milk or fish. More than 10% of yeast is occupied by amino acids. Yeast is a rich source of minerals, amino acids and vitamins. They contain potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, B vitamins, vitamins H, P, folic and para-aminobenzoic acids, as well as methionine and lecithin. Milk yeast, which is part of fermented milk products, is a probiotic. The invaluable benefit of this type of yeast lies in the ability to maintain the balance of intestinal microflora.

The benefits and harms of yeast

Why are they useful?

Brewery and bread yeast are universal dietary supplements, it is recommended to include them in food in the form of drinks for anemia and low-calorie diet. Yeast is very useful for skin diseases - acne, furunculosis, dermatitis. They contribute to the rapid healing of wounds and burns, in general, they have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin. Yeast improves the secretion of the stomach glands and the intestinal absorption capacity. Therefore, they are prescribed for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases: ulcers, gastritis, colitis, enterocolitis, decreased gastrointestinal tone and poor secretion of the digestive glands.

For the treatment and prevention of diseases, yeast must be mixed with water, sugar, bran and other additives, and taken as a drink. When heated above 60 C, any yeast dies, and therefore it is unlikely that it will be possible to "heal" and get any health-improving effect from yeast bread baked at high temperatures. Fermented milk products with milk yeast effectively strengthen the immune system and normalize bowel function. Yeast is also very useful for external use - they are used to prepare nourishing masks that make hair beautiful and lush.

Contraindications

Despite all the benefits of yeast, there are contraindications to their use. You can not take yeast with a tendency to allergies, kidney disease, gout, dysbiosis, endocrine disorders and individual intolerance to the product. The intake of yeast by women should be under the supervision of a gynecologist, as they can provoke the occurrence of thrush.

And that's not all that yeast is useful for the body. They help in blood formation, normalize the digestive tract and liver, and improve the quality of hair, nails and skin.

Harm to baker's yeast

The main harm of bread is associated precisely with the use of yeast dough for its preparation. Once in the body, the yeast expands, causing bloating, constipation, and indigestion. From the digestive system, they enter the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body. Yeast helps to increase the permeability of cells, as a result of which viruses and pathogens, which suppress beneficial bacteria, are more easily attacked. Bakery yeast makes the stomach acidic, as a result of which the absorption of calcium by the body is disturbed. This product, together with starch, can become one of the causes of gastritis, stomach ulcers, gallstones and liver stones. Some scientists prove the relationship between yeast bread and the formation of cancer cells, but, despite these studies, the technology of making bakery products remains unchanged.
