Methionine

          This is very important sulphur -bearing compound which helps dissolve cholesterol and assimilates fat. It is required by haemoglobin, the pancreas, the lymph and the spleen. It is necessary to maintain normal body weight and also helps maintain the proper nitrogen balance in the body. Rich sources of methionine are Brazil nut, hazal nut, and other nuts. It is also found in cauliflower, pineapples, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and apples. Its insufficiency can lead to chronic rheumatic fever in children, cirrhosis and nephritis of the kidneys. Studies show that methionine and chorine thwart tumours and proliferation.
