I've often heard talk about 'non-yeast' diets, and even saw a book in a bookstore that advocated staying away from yeast. My response has been to giggle that Candida (the infection-causing yeast) and Saccharomyces (includes baker's yeast and brewer's yeast) are very different beasts. But often when I have this response it's merely because I'm uninformed. Why should one expect that a Saccharomyces-free diet should help a Candida infection? - Sean Eddy - MCD Biology; U. of Colorado at Boulder; Boulder CO 80309 - eddy@boulder.colorado.EDU !{hao,nbires}!boulder!eddy
