If I read only one or two biased reports from pharmaceutical companies with an agenda I wouldn't take the sulfur/race thing as fact.
However, I have read many, many clinical studies that have concluded this as fact. If it is necessary for me to cite references, I am happy to provide them. I agree that it depends on the source, but if multiple reliable sources state this claim as fact, and I have added sulfur to my diet and have noticed a remarkable change, I am a believer. I could have NEVER just blown my hair straight before taking sulfur.
I don't see how stating that sulfur content differs among races as being an insult or smack to the AA race. Just as we know for a fact that people of African descent have more melanin in their skin than Caucasian people, we don't seem to take offense to that. We know it's true and not some conspiracy theory; maybe because melanin is a positive, protective component of skin and we're proud that we as a race have that on our side and amazing skin?
All I'm saying is Afro-textured hair FOR THE MOST PART (not all or every person of African descent) is much different than other hair types. There is a reason. Sulfur may not be the ONLY piece to the puzzle, but I am convinced that it plays a role.
Again, I take NATROL brand MSM, but I've taken several brands in capsule form.
Now that I think of it, my periods went from lasting five full days of heavy bleeding down to two days of light bleeding. My gyno told me I'm healthy as a horse and to thank my lucky stars. I am!
