    No.  The species of yeast used to make bread is not what should be in your gut.   Prebiotic supplements are typically bacterial and are definitely beneficial to your health like no other supplement.

    Why the hell...? No, you can't eat yeast, bcuz it's not "alive." And why would you even bother? Unless you've been diagnosed with a digestive problem like an enzyme deficiency, you don't need probiotics.

    Yeast is actually really bad.

    Probably since there is no proven scientific evidence that probiotics does anything.
