The addition of yeast to a milk diet

Abstract

The experiments were made on white rats, one group of rats being fed a diet of pasteurized milk and a second group being fed a milk and yeast diet. The rats receiving the yeast made more satisfactory growth gains than did the rats receiving no yeast. Inasmuch as milk has been shown to be low in the water-soluble “B” vitamine, which is present in high concentration in yeast, it would seem that yeast may be found to be an important dietary adjunct for use in baby feeding.
