About this food

Beverages sits in the Beverages group. 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.

Nutrient insight

Potassium is the highest of the three at 6%. With reduced kidney function, blood potassium can rise, so spread high-potassium foods across the day rather than in one large serving.
