Yeast supplements bursting on the scene

General manager Antoine Baule, of yeast manufacturer Lesaffre, said: "The dietary supplements and functional foods market is experiencing strong growth. Many reasons like the aging population, the need of public preventional measures and the search for wellbeing explain this phenomena. In some countries, those preventional measures are used to help reduce public spending on health issues. Yeast and its derivatives have great potential in Nutrition & Health"

"Yeast is a very healthy product. It is a great source of many components which can contribute to good health."

Bonnie - oh boy. Just what we need. A population even more yeasty than it already is. Granted, there is a well-researched form of beneficial yeast called sacchromyces boulardii, but the buck stops there. Surprised that Mr. Baule did not mention the health effects of yeast overgrowth and candida?
