Modern Nutrition... wrote:".... The source of sulfuric acid is protein, but the sulfate content varies greatly with the types of protein that are ingested. In general, when sulfur content is expressed as mEq/100 g of proteins, proteins of animal sources (meat, fish, milk, and egg) contain higher amounts of sulfate for a given amount of protein than proteins of plan origin (cereal, beans, and nuts). The sulfur content per calorie is much greater in fruits, vegetables, and potatoes, but these food groups are not important sources of protein in the amounts usually eaten (Fig. 8.17). The total amount of acid or alkali content depends ont (sic) only on the sulfur content but also on the alkali content of food, which is present mainly as salts of organic acids. When both factors are considered, milk has a net alkali value, whereas meat and fish have a net acid value. As a whole, fruits and vegetables contain a large amount of net alkali because they contain large amounts of organic anions (Fig. 8.18 )...."

Burgess wrote: GENERAL QUESTION: Where can one go to find a ranking of foods for any particular nutrient? The same source might serve others who are interested in other nutrients such as iron or Vitamin C, for example.
Burgess wrote:Those two classes are:
1. All animal products.
2. All "seeds" such as grains, legumes, and nuts.
I have wondered what these two groups have in common.
Burgess wrote:I also wonder what connection, if any, there is between sulfur in foods and those foods' Potential Renal Acid Load listing, which I have found to be a reliable predictor, at least for the few foods included on the standard PRAL list, shown here about half way down the page: http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/bases.htm

Go to www.nutritiondata.com and register, which is free.
Yes, I noted that in the first few months of using the elimination diet and re-introduction procedure. I was dismayed to think that protein--an essential of life--is the culprit. But I also soon found that I can eat large amounts of low protein, non-seed foods, such as potatoes, and not get a reaction.One commonality is that they are both very high in (or concentrated sources of) protein.
Burgess wrote:What was a surprise was the high ranking of various leaves, including greens. However, I have decided to continue eating them, e.g., one bunch of collard per week, because the amounts are actually quite small when one considers that the ranking is due to density not the absolute amount consumed. I suspect that a 200 calorie serving of greens is more than I would normally eat at one sitting.
