consuming more sulphur than the body can metabolize can lead to bad breath and body odor

the following table, first published in 1939, provides the sulphur content of the edible portion of more than 300 foods

while we tend to eat a little differently today and growing methods have changed, a recent review indicates sulfur levels in the table are still accurate
