We normally don’t think much about it, but sulfur is a hugely

important nutrient for the body, and when we lack this

critical substance, we may be paying for it with the health of

our hearts.

Sulfur is a non-metallic element (number 16) that is a

critical nutrient for the body. Unfortunately, so many

people don’t consume enough. Over the years, it has been

forgotten by the FDA and not added to grains/rice as part

of the “fortification” process. Sadly, most diets are

deficient in sulfur rich foods like grass fed beef, garlic

(http://www.greenmedinfo.com/substance/garlic), onion,

and quality eggs. Farmers are not putting sulfur in the soil

or feed, therefore plant and animal sulfur content is

diminished. The quality of veggies depends on the soil in

which they grow. Animals eat those plants. Sulfur is also

found naturally in spring water. If you use reverse osmosis,

the sulfur is removed.

Sulfur is one of the top 10 most abundant nutrients in the

body. There is about the same amount of sulfur

as potassium

(http://www.greenmedinfo.com/substance/potassium),

and there is more sulfur than sodium. It is an essential

element for human life and combines with so many other

element for human life and combines with so many other

nutrients including amino acids (building blocks for

proteins), metals

(http://www.greenmedinfo.com/disease/heavy-metal-

toxicity) (sulfur clears them out of the body), vitamins, and

even makes our skin, hair, and nails strong. You can thank

sulfur for the smell of garlic or the whiff of a skunk. Rotting

eggs, same thing.

One of the most important places to find sulfur in the

human body is in the glutathione molecule. It is formed

from the amino acids cysteine, glutamine

(http://www.greenmedinfo.com/substance/glutamine),

and glycine. Glutathione serves many functions including

(1):

· Anti-oxidant that clears out free-radicals

· Anti-inflammatory

· Detoxifier that binds toxins and metals, making them

water soluble, and easy to excrete from the body.

THEENDOTHELIALGLYCOCALYXWow, that is a mouthful. But hang in there. As noted in the

picture above, lining all major blood vessels is a layer of

cells called the endothelium. These cells control what

comes into the artery wall and what stays in the inside

area of blood flow called the lumen. Interestingly, there is

a space that serves as a buffer between blood flow and the

endothelium. This area is called the glycocalyx and

researchers are only scratching the surface at its

importance. One nutrient that is found extensively in the

glycocalyx is sulfur. Given most diets are deficient in

sulfur, could this be a major factor in atherosclerosis

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Some of

these amino acids such as cysteine, methionine, and

cystine contain sulfur. Cysteine is an important amino acid

for the building of glutathione mentioned above.

Methionine cannot be manufactured by the body and is

considered an essential amino acid. Cysteine and cystine

can be made, but an adequate supply of sulfur is needed.

Homocysteine and taurine are similar to amino acids,

contain sulfur, and are very important molecules in human

biochemistry. When homocysteine gets out of control, bad

things happen (2) including heart attacks, strokes, cancer

and dementia. On the flip side, low homocysteine is also a

problem. We are looking for levels between 5 and 7.

Taurine is a component of bile salt for digestion and is

known to reduce blood pressure and prevent heart

rhythm issues (3).

Alpha-lipoic acid contains a sulfur molecule and also does

some amazing things in the body (4) such as lowering

oxidative stress, lowers blood sugar by improving insulin

function, chelation, and lowers blood pressure by

improving endothelial function.

Sulfur is found in many foods such a Brussels Sprouts,

broccoli, cabbage, and onion. But my favorite sources are

broccoli, cabbage, and onion. But my favorite sources are

seafood, eggs, and of course, garlic. Just to be clear, eggs

do not cause heart disease as reviewed in a recent article

(5). In fact, eggs raise HDL and improve HDL function (6)

and improve blood sugar (7). Don’t fear the egg and don’t

fear the smell of garlic. That smell is health.

Benefits of garlic include (8,9):

· Reduces plaque formation

· Lowers blood pressure and lowers blood sugar

· Decreases LDL number, oxidized LDL, and lowers

triglycerides

· Natural blood thinner that inhibits platelet

aggregation and increases fibrinolytic activity

· Anti-cancer. Lowers prostate cancer risk by 23%.

Lowers lung cancer risk by 44%.

· Anti-microbial

· Natural chelator

Raw milk is an excellent source of sulfur when it comes

from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals. When protein in

from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals. When protein in

dairy is an amazing source of cysteine. Pasteurization may

negate some of the benefit of whey (10). Eat and drink

dairy in the raw.

S U L F U R I N WAT E R

Most spring water contains naturally occurring sulfur. But

no brand compares with Pellegrino. Sure, you can add

sulfur to water, but Pellegrino is an excellent choice and

my favorite beverage. You can add some citrus juice or

herbal tea to create a refreshing drink, especially in the

summer.

S U L F U R I N S U P P L E M E N T S

Credit Dr. George Mann MD in 1960 with demonstrating

that sulfur supplementation protects monkeys from

atherosclerosis (11). This is the same Dr. Mann who was a

fierce critic of the cholesterol-sat fat-heart disease

hypothesis and opponent to Ancel Keyes MD.

There are many choices when it comes to supplementing

for sulfur. The most well-known and studied is MSM. Only

found in small amounts in food, MSM contains sulfur and is

used for conditions ranging from arthritis to leaky gut to

inflammation and oxidative stress (12). NAC and alpha

lipoic acid have been used with success. Glutathione is

lipoic acid have been used with success. Glutathione is

typically not well absorbed orally but newer forms of

liposomal glutathione and topical preparations may be

better options.

Garlic supplements have plenty of data and there are

some excellent companies including Kyolic and Biotics

Research. Another option is purified chondroitin sulfates.

The credit for this research starts with Lester Morrison

MD in the 1970’s. But recent data confirms the role of

chondroitin sulfate in heart disease. It interferes with the

pro-inflammatory activation of monocytes and endothelial

cells driven by TNF-!. This serves to lower cardiac risk

(13). As mentioned above, heparan sulfate, chondroitin

sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate are all major

components of the glycocalyx and healthy endothelial cell

function.

When it comes to the toxicity of glyphosate, Stephanie

Seneff PhD is the authority. She views coronary artery

disease as a deficiency is cholesterol sulfate. And what

inhibits the formation of cholesterol sulfate? That’s right,

glyphosate (14). Not only does glyphosate destroy gut

bacteria, but it inhibits the trans-sulfuration pathway.

Read more from Dr. Seneff about the devastation caused

from glyphosate.

S U M M A R Y

However you choose to do it, get more sulfate into your

diet. Given the fact that sulfur containing foods and garlic

supplements are proven to lower heart disease risk, this

advice is just what the doctor ordered. Your heart, blood

vessels, and the rest of your body will thank you. Now it’s

time for me to prepare our dinner of wild salmon with

garlic aioli and a side of steamed organic Brussels sprouts.

Maybe I will wash it down with a cool glass of Pellegrino.

Cheers.
