About this food

About Beverages: Most beverages are low in mineral density, but colas with phosphoric acid and sugary drinks are not kidney-friendly - additive phosphorus absorbs at nearly 100%, often alongside a lot of added sugar. As a Beverages item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

The most striking number here is potassium (3%). For patients on potassium restriction, portion size and leaching are the two levers that matter for foods like Beverages.
