Here is a list of the Top 5 Foods to avoid, if you want to reduce Oxidative Stress and improve your health.  Avoiding ultra-processed foods may reduce your risk of cancer, but are they all bad for you?  Many ultra-processed foods have one thing in common: high levels of inorganic sulfur.  This type of sulfur leads to the growth of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in your gut, which may cause your blood cells to generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the primary source of Oxidative Stress.  In the long term, high levels of ROS can damage DNA, which can cause cancer.

Low BLOS Foods

Consider reducing or eliminating these foods from your diet to reduce Oxidative Stress and improve your health.  Always consult with your physician before making any dietary changes (read our Disclaimer at the bottom).

Commercial Baked Goods

Most breads and pastries for sale at your local supermarket use one or more types of sulfur compounds to improve the shelf life and quality.  Most Flat Breads and Wraps have lots of these additives.  Check the ingredient label for these additives.

Vegetables High in Sulfur

Here’s your excuse for not eating Broccoli, Cabbage, and Brussels Sprouts.  These vegetables contain high levels of sulfur, which may cause Oxidative Stress!  The good news is that there are plenty of other vegetables that do not have the high levels of sulfur.

Dried Fruit

Most dried fruits contain high levels of sulfur dioxide as a preservative and should be avoided.  Instead, purchase fresh fruit and dry your own!  Better yet, enjoy fresh fruits like blueberries, which are a rich source of antioxidants to help you in your fight against Oxidative Stress.  Use this link to purchase dried blueberries through Amazon.

Excessive Meat

Too much meat in your diet could also contribute to BLOS, since it is an excellent source of organic sulfur.  The breakdown of the sulfur containing amino acids could lead to sulfur available to the SRB in your gut.  It is best to reduce your meat consumption to reduce Oxidative Stress.

Home Baked Goods

Not all of your tasty cakes, pies, and breads should be avoided.  Instead, check your favorite recipes for your breads and pastries and be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder, which does not contain inorganic sulfur.  Use this link to purchase this baking powder through Amazon.
