It's not about how high the sulfur is, it's the type. MSM is a pure organic sulfur while that of cabbage that makes you stink is probably like that of DMSO.

I'm currently taking MSM, b complex and kelp as it is said they work together synergistically. I can say my condition has improved 80-90%. Good diet still is important as ever.

Yeah, but jcc34, the Cambridge paper was written in 1939, and some of it, or alot of it might be outdated. It is just an interesting paper, though not current. I wouldn’t give this paper much thought at all.
First of all, there are many FMO3 metabolic enzymes, and other types of metabolic enzymes, and not all of them are responsible for metabolizing trimethylamine, sulfur-, phosphorous-, nitrogen-containing compounds, sugars, fats, proteins, etc. Normally, each enzyme has its specific function(s). Furthermore, not everyone (body odor sufferer) has a deficiency of one of more of these metabolic enzymes, and some body odor sufferers may not have a deficiency of these enzymes at all.
When one has a metabolic enzyme deficiency, the problem isn't that there would be something wrong with the food they eat, which are substrates for metabolic enzymes, but rather the problem is that one's body cannot metabolize it correctly. For example, there's nothing innately wrong with seafood, and in general, it's always been good for humans and animals. However, persons who have a deficiency in the particular FMO3 enzyme that oxidizes TMA, will end up with extremely strong body odor if they eat fish because the metabolic process was not completed. And persons who have certain bacteria in the gut that produces TMA from choline (an essential nutrient) and who also have a deficient FMO3 enzyme that metabolizes TMA, cannot eat choline because their FMO3 enzyme cannot oxidize the TMA to turn it into its non-odorous state.
Every single food that we eat and every drug we take that enters into our bloodstream has to be metabolized, used up by our bodies and eventually eliminated. A metabolic process is a chemical reaction in which one chemical is transformed through a series of steps into another chemical. These chemical reactions need a specific enzyme to catalyzed or propelled (speed up) the reaction. These catalysts (enzymes) allow metabolic chemical reactions to proceed quickly and efficiently. Without metabolic enzymes, our metabolism would be too slow and or incomplete. If there is a deficiency in the enzyme, then the chemical reaction is not completed and what could have been nutritious may very well become poisonous.
So, in a person who may have a deficiency in the particular enzyme in charge of regulating the metabolic process of changing sulfur to its multiple chemical states, what could have been nutritious sulfur foods may turn out to become poisonous chemicals in the bloodstream, or perhaps odorous chemicals, even though foods that are rich in natural sulfur may be very good for most people with a healthy metabolic enzyme. This is what a sufferer told me happened to her with MSM. She was in the hospital gravely ill as a result of taking MSM, according to her doctors. That is not to say that there is a problem with MSM per se, (not taking into account possible other chemicals it may have - I really don’t know what they would be), but in persons who have metabolic enzyme deficiency that is directly involved with the sulfur metabolic pathway, MSM could potentially be very dangerous.
I hope I explained this better this time.

MSM has had a balancing effect on my body, giving me more energy and surprisingly keeping me fresh all day. I can tell the difference if I stop taking it for one day. It's not dangerous. Just follow the guidelines on the package. Buy a brand that cares about how they process and package it. And take the powder with orange juice.
