Effects of phosphorus and calcium to phosphorus consumption ratio on mineral metabolism and cardiometabolic health.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorus is a common additive used in food processing that is typically consumed in excess of the recommended daily allowance; however, our knowledge of its effects on health, in the context of normal renal function, is limited. Unlike phosphorus, calcium intake is generally less than recommended, and it has been hypothesized that the calcium to phosphorus ratio may be partly responsible for the proposed negative health consequences. Therefore, this study sought to determine the effects of increased phosphorus additive intake, in the context of high calcium consumption, on endocrine markers of mineral metabolism and cardiometabolic health. An outpatient feeding study was performed in which healthy adults were fed a run-in control diet for 2 weeks followed by a phosphorus additive enhance
