Higher consumption of sulfur microbial diet is associated with the increased risk of chronic kidney disease
Higher sulfur microbial diet intake was associated with an increased risk of CKD, which was partially mediated by metabolic disorders. Replacing low-calorie drinks or sweets and desserts with other vegetables was related to a significant reduction in CKD risk. These findings highlighted the role of sulfur-metabolizing bacteria in the relationship between diet and CKD.
