• 1 cup cottage cheese contains 1 gram of the sulfur containing amino acid methionine

• Other good food sources of methionine are beans, eggs, onions, garlic, lentils soybeans, yogurt, fish and meat

• Methionine is needed to make the sulfur amino acid taurine

• Taurine is found mainly in fish and animal protein, particularly organ meats

• Eating liver provides taurine and biotin. Biotin assists in the metabolism of fats and proteins

• Biotin is a critical part of glucokinase, the enzyme involved in the utilization of glucose

• Sulfur is a component of insulin. A lack of nutritional sulfur can result in low insulin production and poor carbohydrate metabolism.

• Taurine is an important component of bile, needed for the removal of toxic metals

• Dandelion and turmeric increase bile flow

• The body also converts methionine into the sulfur amino acid cysteine which makes the great glutathione

• Cysteine and methionine can create the antioxidant lipoic acid

• Good food sources of cysteine include: onions, garlic, yogurt, and wheat germ

• Methionine increases the production of choline, important for liver function

• Eggs are an excellent source of choline (lecithin) and sulfur

• The word "lecithin" is derived from the Greek word lekithos, meaning "yolk"

• One large egg contains 2 ½ grams of lecithin and ¼ gram cholesterol (this in 10x more lecithin than cholesterol)
