About this food

About Milk: 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. As a Dairy & Eggs item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

Milk's phosphorus is the top contributor (97% of its limit). Source matters: animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80%, additive phosphorus near 100% - the same number can mean very different real loads.
