Re: Meat, Butter and Sulfation question, Help Andy!!!

[Guest guest]

I put Andy's name in the subject line in case he ever has time to

explain this.

Andy does include meat on the low sulfur food list for people who are

restricting sulfur in the form of ***readily available thiols***.

That would mean that meat is low in available thiols as compared to

other foods that are high in available thiols. Sulfur is in foods in

other forms besides thiols, and we are not concerned about the other

forms besides available thiols for toxic people who need to restrict

dietary thiols.

I found one post from Andy where he touches on this topic:

" meat and brazil nuts are not sulfury in the dietary reaction sense "

As he mentions in this post, we are concerned about " the form of the

sulfur and how your body handles it " .

I have proved this in my own experience when I was sulfur food

intolerant. Meat was fine. Eggs, dairy, cruciferous vegetables were not.

There are other chemicals in red meat that affect some people in some

ways and can account for some having an aversion to red meat and for

some needing to limit it. I saw a post where he touched on that

topic, but I think he must discuss it somewhere in " Amalgam Illness " .
