Marmite!!

It certainly is Catherine. Although the study can't conclusively say whether or not it would work in humans I'm willing to try it!! 
Will be trying that then! It's all very well saying our choices of food are limited once we are diabetics. There are so many things we SHOULD be eating to help with this, heal that and boost whatever, that I'm fast running out of time to get them all down me gob in one day! :lol:
Marmite has changed, it is now a runny and milder flavoured immitation of it's former self.
On the other hand Vegemite is not runny, has less salt (but still a lot) and tastes much better.
Vegemite is made in Australia, (sorry about the cricket you Aussies).

I was a great Marmite fan until it changed in consistency, strength and flavour, now I'm a Vegemite man :lol:
not sure i could get the amount of benfotiamine i'm taking
from a scraping of marmite on toast
or a spoonful in a mug of hotwater
though it might indicate that the NHS are finally waking up to the benefits of benfotiamine

It's all a big trick to get you to read the whol article!!!
Eating marmite can't do any harm, though! (The Thiamin and B12 are known to be beneficial to diabetics - not to sure about the salt and yeast...!)

Reading through this thread Patch and I wondered the same thing about the salt content. Anyone know the salt in say, a teaspoonful of Marmite? I don't have a jar to hand as I'm not a Marmite lover but I am guessing it is pretty high.

I believe that the amount of the errrr......stuff......in Marmite that is good for you can be got in 2 tsp of Marmite a day. So that's only 2 mugs of the stuff......so my aunty tells me anyway!!!
It certainly is OK Patch. I don't eat bread, so don't have toast, but I have a mug of Marmite for lunchtime, and maybe a mug early evening. Now, Bovril is just as good. I remember as a child, if I was sick, my great grandmother - who lived till she was 105 - gave us a Welsh concoction called Brawis (pronounced brow - iss). It's just a slice of bread with hot Bovril soaked into it. May sound yuck to most of you but, believe me, when you're feeling yuck it really does make you feel all warm and better!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
