Toast with Marmite sits on a kitchen counter in Manchester, Britain. Experiments found that volunteers who ate a daily spoonful of the dark-brown yeast extract seemed to have higher levels of a vital neuron chemical associated with a healthy brain. The volunteers wore non-invasive skullcaps fitted with electrodes to monitor brain activity while they looked at a screen with a visual stimulus - a large stripey pattern that flickered at a regular rate. "This study suggests that eating Marmite is potentially good for you in that it seems to increase a chemical messenger associated with healthy brain function," lead authors Daniel Baker and Anika Smith say. Compared with the same quantity of peanut butter, the team found that Marmite had around 116 times more vitamin B12, three times more vitamin B6, and nearly twice as much glutamate as peanut butter.
