Isn't sulfur supposed to be good too for the tendons and ligaments?

Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, turnips, bok choy and kohlrabi, are rich sources of sulfur-containing substances known as glucosinolates.

Protein-rich foods, such as fish, poultry, meats, nuts and legumes, are not only essential for building and maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails, but also are good dietary sources of sulfur.

Eggs are not only a rich source of protein, they're high in sulfur, with the white, or albumen, containing the majority. Each egg yolk contains 0.016 milligram of sulfur, and the white contains 0.195 milligram,
