Yeast extract may boost brain function
Written by Honor Whiteman
Published: Wednesday 5 April 2017

Marmite is far from one of the most popular foods in the United States. In fact, many Americans are unlikely to have heard of it. A new study, however, suggests that when it comes to boosting brain function, Marmite triumphs over peanut butter.

Researchers suggest that Marmite may benefit brain function.

Marmite is a British brand of food paste made from yeast extract - a food additive created from brewer's yeast.

While Marmite is one of the most popular sandwich spreads in the United Kingdom, not everyone is a fan. Its powerful, distinctive flavor is so divisive that even its manufacturers, Unilever, launched a "Love It or Hate It" campaign in the mid-1990s, a slogan that has followed the brand ever since.

I have always been tempted to try that stuff. Like KimChi, everyone would have to be gone from the house.

If you are going to try it, either try it with cheese or get a pack of twiglets. Ease into it slowly. It's a pretty intense flavor.

Sounds like a good idea, I have tried Brewer's Yeast and (?) Nutritional Yeast, usually in powers, also comes in tablets.
