Gosh! I cannot tell you how DELICIOUS this is and how your body will love you for feeding it this heavenly, protein-packed, fibrous goodness!

Why Yeast Free?

I'm starting to live a yeast-free (or at least yeast-reduced) life from now on. I've realized that a proliferation of yeast can cause a whole gamut of health issues. And excess yeast in the body doesn't always show up as a yeast-infection. The latter is just the "last stages" of a yeast over-abundance. As a matter of fact, most people in North America probably have too much yeast in the body because we are constantly taking anti-biotics, all food is injected with sugar, we are constantly stressed out and we drink copiously to deal with our stress.

A healthy amount of yeast in the body is a good thing, it's only when there's too much of it that it's a problem.

How do we know if we have too much? Well, your doctor can do a test to confirm. But if you can say 'yes' to the points below, chances are you have too much yeast:
Have you had/have:(1) taken Antibiotics often (or as a child)
(2) eat a High-Sugar diet (people from North America and the Indian Sub-continent especially)
(3) consume Alcohol fairly regularly (12 servings per Year or more)
(4) experience lots of Stress/Anxiety

If those things above are happening, then the "good bacteria" in the body gets killed off, leaving you as a petri-dish for yeast growth. There are many good sites on Candida Albicans, so please read up.
