Sulfur

Daily Value: None

Good Food Sources: Meats, poultry, fish

Most of us think of sulfur as a nostril-burning by-product of the combustion engine that pollutes urban air. But it is also a mineral that our bodies need to neutralize toxins.

Absorbed from protein-based foods, drinking water and even noxious air, the sulfur taken into our bodies combines with toxins to form harmless compounds that can then be escorted to the nearest exit.

Sulfur is also combined with the proteins that structure cartilage, tendons and bone in the body as well as with the proteins in our hair and nails.

Sulfur is not related to sulfa drugs or sulfites, which are sometimes added to foods.

Using Sulfur Safely

Sulfur is so widely available from foods, water and air that the National Research Council has established no Recommended Dietary Allowance. It also seems to be impossible to get the wrong amount of sulfur--either too much or too little.
