Crete, the question's about about Marmite, not Vegemite!

[-=BigD=-]

Sorry Pink, it is the work of the devil and kills the soul of any one who's had more than a couple of exploratory bites.

[crete]

vegimite and marmite are the same ingredients, sheila

[mrs_p]

nah infact it's good for you. Unless you're talking about a jar a day. It's got vitamin B in it. B vitamins benefit your body in all sorts of ways. They help regulate the kidneys, liver and nervous system as well as assisting with skin disorders and boosting energy...

Pink - you can read all about it here and decide:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

The main ingredients of Marmite manufactured in the UK are yeast extract, with lesser quantities of sodium chloride (common salt), vegetable extract, niacin, thiamine, spice extracts, riboflavin, folic acid, and celery extracts, although the precise composition is a trade secret. By 1912, the discovery of vitamins was a boost for Marmite, as the spread is a rich source of the vitamin B complex; vitamin B12 is not naturally found in yeast extract, but is added to Marmite during manufacture.

i have to agree with Big D. It is the spawn of the devil! vegemite and marmite are pure evil. Plus have you heard of the saying "You are what you eat!"? Aaaahhhhh!!!!

Marmite insmall doses very occasionally is one of life's great pleasures. Large quantities on a regular basis are a basis for ill -health because of the salt content. All things in moderation.

Marmite WILL kill you ... in fact I suspect you are already past saving. However, in case there is any chance of rescuing your poor deluded soul, you must take immediate action. Go forth to your local pub THIS MINUTE and beg them to sell you a pint of creme de menthe. They may be reluctant as they will almost certainly guess that you have an unsavory attachment to the savoury stuff. If you succeed in the purchase, do not baulk at the cost, rejoice and drink it in one. Lick the glass clean. Now, wait till you feel sick and then rush outside and throw up till all of the Marmite is expelled from your cursed body. Repeat from "go forth" to make sure. You may now be saved. Go into the world and try to save human kind from this accursed product.

Apparently is quite high in salt? But hey its toooooo good with toast who cares!!

vegemite and marmite do taste different though, and the texture is differrent too - vegemite seems more sort of waxy, whereas marmite is sticky. and i think it (marmite) tastes stronger.
