If yeast extract is MSG does that mean marmite is bad for you?

[Virgil]

Totally confused. I always thought marmite was good. Have I just been taken in by the marketing?

Marmite is loaded with salt so it's only ever been 'good for you' in relatively small amounts.

it isn't msg and it is isn't bad for you. The msg stuff is nonsense anyway.

If you google it there are lots of healthy eating websites that say yeast extract is the same as MSG

MSG isn't toxic though. It's a naturally occurring edible substance & an approved food additive but, like anything else, some people have sensitivities to it and it's not going to be good for you in large amounts.

Agree with CogitoErgo you CAN get a salt free yeast spread by Meridian which is naturally quite salty but nice! It has B12 added to it.
