If you don’t eat a lot of processed foods, these kinds of concerns are greatly diminished.
That does it. I am never going to eat again. Nothing is good for you.
Perhaps true, but given the inability of our press to understand even the most simple science, methinks I smell a bit of “the sky is falling” syndrome here.
We’ll see.
Welcome to FR.
I’ll eliminate phosphates, gluten, lactose, nuts, fats, and too many carbohydrates.
Who knew the people of North Korea were so far ahead of us in nutrition?
Plus, it’s a good bet that the sodium phosphate comes from China, if not the whole damned food product.
Keep in mind, the recommendation is for people in renal failure.
People that have chronic debilitating conditions or diseases usually face hurdles of this nature.
The question begins to become, since there are innumerable varieties of illness that have their own set of caveats for the patient, do we regulate the entire society into compliance with the dietary needs of these people?
I don’t believe we should, but that is the goal of the nanny state. And it is doing a successful job so far of getting us there.
You will die without phosphates. Phosphates are an essential nutrient. Vitamin D + Calcium + Phosphates = Bone; but also, Vitamin D + Calcium + Phosphates = most of the hormones and system control chemicals in you blood stream.
Like everything, the key word is moderation.
Heck, I am starting to get that way in reality. Each day we are told that something else is bad, tainted or deadly.

I understand your frustration with all the "studies" and such are released to the public. I also understand you're joking. However, here's what you need to know. If you shop around the outside of the grocery store, you'll probably avoid 99% of what ails the American public. If your food remembers where it came from, it's probably good to eat.
My most harmful food additive is “too much”.
Yeah, but I am also afraid of tainted bacteria fresh veggies and listeria meat.
I’ve decided to swear off food altogether. It’s just bad for you. So far I’m on my third hour and I’m not feeling any ill effects. We’ll see how it goes.
Thanks for posting Sarah, and welcome to FR! :-)

And ready whip.
