How is Sulfur Deficiency Created?

The depletion of our soils which started in the 1940s with the introduction of chemical fertilizers to our farmers is one big reason.

Bad animal husbandry practices have also negatively affected our food supply.

Our fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and factory farmed animal products usually have very little "organic sulfur" to give our bodies.

Also, the abuse of herbicides like Roundup which contains Glyphosate has contributed greatly to sulfur deficiency symptoms.
