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
Beverages's phosphorus is 14% of the limit, from Processed additive (highest absorption). On a phosphorus-restricted diet, limit how often and how much you eat it.

Practical tips
