About this food
For Beverages, Beverages is a typical example. 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
The most striking number here is potassium (<1%). For patients on potassium restriction, portion size and leaching are the two levers that matter for foods like Beverages.
