Soda and CKD: Potassium, Phosphorus & Sodium Reference
Looking at the minerals alone, Soda rates Kidney-friendly. On a stage 3-4 CKD basis, Soda's Kidney-friendly rating is driven by Phosphorus (<1%) - none of the three minerals exceeds 15%.
About Soda
Soda (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. This is the same lens used for similar items.
Nutrient insight
Phosphorus at <1% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
Phosphorus / Sodium / Potassium per 100 g
Practical tips
If you are managing mineral intake: Avoid colas with phosphoric acid additives; choose water, black coffee or tea as low-risk options.
