There is also a high content of added phosphate in beverages, and phosphates in this form are highly absorbable. The real content of phosphate contained in beverages is often unrecognized, and nephrologists do not always take into account the amount of phosphorus that patients ingest in this form. %K phosphorus %K beverages %K additive %K diet %U https://www.dovepress.com/phosphorus-beverages-and-chronic-kidney-disease-peer-reviewed-article-NDS
