Interesting. It’s a huge challenge lowering phosphorous intake when going through Chronic Renal Failure. Just look at food labels; many prepared foods now have some kind of phosphorous additive (it will have “phos” in it’s name).
My dietician while I was on dialysis used to ponder what type of problems this will have in the future for healthy people without kidney problems. (excess intake in those with chronic renal failure sucks calcium out of the bones and into the bloodstream, causing bone weakness and plaques in the arteries)
When you think about phosphate metabolism, biochemistry and physiology from DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP to cyclic AMP, it’s quite amazing.
