Soda and CKD: Potassium, Phosphorus & Sodium Reference

Kidney-friendly Based on CKD stage 3-4 daily limits

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.
