Association of sulfur amino acid consumption with cardiometabolic risk factors: Cross-sectional findings from NHANES III.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An average adult American consumes sulfur amino acids (SAA) at levels far above the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and recent preclinical data suggest that higher levels of SAA intake may be associated with a variety of aging-related chronic diseases.
