What problems do processed foods pose to recommended phosphorous intakes?
What will be an ideal response?
Because phosphorus is commonly found in almost all foods, dietary deficiencies are unlikely. Foods rich in proteins—such as meat, poultry, fish, milk, and cheese—are the best sources of phosphorus. Many processed foods and soft drinks contain phosphate-based additives, and phosphorus intakes in the United States have increased as consumption of processed foods and beverages has increased.
Phosphate toxicity is rare and usually reflects a significant problem such as kidney failure. Still, phosphorus intakes can be excessive when processed foods take center stage, disrupting kidney function and bone metabolism; high intakes are also associated with increased mortality. A UL of 4000 milligrams has been established.
