Re: sulfur       10/01/09 09:42 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Perhaps I shouldn't have used the term elemental. It more accurate to speak of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds. Sulfur is a non-metallic element found in a variety of compounds found in food. The principal sources of inorganic sulfur include sulfur dioxide, sulphate, sulphite, bisulphite and metabisulphite. They are are widely used as food additives where they function as preservatives, bleaching agents and antioxidants. Organic sulfur compounds are things such as amino acids that contain sulfur. The sulfur used with dried fruit is usually comes from treating the fruit with sulfur dioxide gas. This is an inorganic sulfur compounds. The sulfur in proteins, brassica vegetables and volatile sulfurous oils in onions and garlic are organic compounds. The amount of protein in the diet affects how much sulfur gets into the large bowel. The sulfur in brassica finds it way into the colon too but it easy to control sulfur from this source. It is more difficult to control the amount of sulfur in the diet from proteins because sulfur amino acids are commonly found in many proteins. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
