Document Summary
85 % phosphorus is found in bones and teeth. In almost everything we eat: only a deficiency risk in very low energy and very low protein diets, well absorbed in the intestine. Added to baked goods, cheese & carbonated beverages. Deficiency rare and usually not caused by low dietary intake (medical conditions) Foods highest in phosphorus are high protein foods! 15% in soft tissues and fluids in the body. Very rare because it"s found in all foods. Those with very low proteins diets may have marginal intakes: most common in: Concern about over-consuming processed foods (food additives) and carbonated beverages. Too much can interfere with calcium absorption & excretion may also affect bone mineralization. Like calcium, phosphorus intake doesn"t affect blood levels tight regulation. 50-60% of our body"s magnesium is in the bone. Regulates the transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes. None of these enzymes would work without it. None of the chemical reactions would happen.
