Hi Sunski:
Yes, that's correct. Oils are not a preferred source of fuel and will only be used as fuel if there is no better source (ie. starvation). The same goes for protein. Protein and oils are our "life battery", too valuable to the body to be wasted as fuel. In fact, Omega 3s increase your metabolic rate, aiding in weight loss, so says Udo Urasmus, the author of Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill. He says it's most noticeable when 3 or more tablespoons of flax oil are consumed each day.
Sulfur-containing amino acids are all animal proteins including dairy, beef, chicken, fish, shellfish, eggs as well as soybeans (especially soft tofu). Udo Erasmus has a chapter on combining proteins with oils based on Dr. Budwig's research. He specifically mentions that sulfur-containing foods are not a problem for people b/c we eat plenty of protein, it's the lack of Omega 3s.
Dr. Budwig did much of her research around cancer patients so she used quark (cottage cheese, skim milk and yogurt are also comparable in sulfur-containing amino acids). So unless you have cancer or a serious illness, it's probably not essential. That's just my opinion.
HTH,
Wanda
