About this food

Milk is a common member of Dairy & Eggs. Dairy products are high in phosphorus with high absorption and should be limited. With eggs, the white is a low-phosphorus protein while the yolk is much higher - treat them differently. This helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Milk's phosphorus (25%) is worth noting - especially with Animal source (higher absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
