I have never considered eating active yeast alone, did not know that a yeast smoothie was made with active yeast, don't know about the anti-yeast yeast, and I've always thought the nutritional yeast was not active (though Saccharomyces cerevisiae). I only checked that recently at the following site which grows and distributes the nutrional yeast I buy. They state that their nutritional yeast is grown, pasturized and dried. They produce many yeast products from baking to ethanol.

"In addition to protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, it contains additional functional and beneficial components such as beta-1,3 glucan, trehalose, mannan and glutathione. Studies have show that these components have potential health benefits such as, improved immune response, reduction of cholesterol, and anti-cancer properties. Complex carbohydrates (beta-1, 3 glucan and mannan) found in Red Star® nutritional yeast include dietary fibers that have been shown to have a positive relationship to decreased serum cholesterol. Beta-1, 3 glucan stimulates the body's immune system. Glutathione, an antioxidant, plays an important role in cellular defense mechanisms. Red Star's nutritional yeast contains approximately 2.5 mg. of glutathione per gram of yeast."

Brewers yeast is bought fresh for brewing because it's not contaminated like it eventully would become if brewers maintained their own culture, like sourdough. Keeping ones own culture would be undesireable in beer due to the contamination. Perhaps nutritional yeast is killed sometimes, I don't know, but this would be a relatively new development; traditionally, yeast smoothies have been made with live brewer's yeast.
