Today, I want to cover the dangers of excess phosphorus. It’s very difficult to become deficient in phosphorus because it’s in so many different foods. Your body actually needs phosphorus too. But, too much phosphorus can be a bad thing.
Excess phosphorus in the body can mess with your kidneys. If you have end-stage kidney disease, too much phosphorus can even be very deadly.
1. Excess phosphorus can cause kidney damage
2. Excess phosphorus can cause heart damage
3. Excess phosphorus can lead to calcium in the arteries
4. Excess phosphorus can cause bone loss (fracture)
Where are people getting too much phosphorus?
1. Soda (especially dark-colored soda)
2. Junk foods
