About the sulfur in some dried fruits. A year ago, I questioned this also because for some reason, the sulfur dioxide they use to preserve the fruits can trigger my asthma, and I wondered if it was ok for my son. I know where I live there are some stores that sell unsulfured dried fruits (Trader Joes). They don't look as pretty but still taste great. So that's what I used but I know people have used the ones that are sulfured and have done just fine.
