now I’ve done a lot of videos on

nutrient deficiencies this video is

going to be on the dangers of excess

phosphorus it’s very very difficult to

become deficient in phosphorus because

it’s in so many different foods we need

phosphorus for many reasons all of our

cells needed your ATP adenosine

triphosphate the energy currency of the

body has a component of phosphorus you

need phosphorus or energy for your bones

for your DNA it’s involved in a lot of

different things but if you have too

much it can really mess with your

kidneys when you have end-stage kidney

disease too much phosphorus can be very

very very deadly but here’s the thing

even if the kidney is 20% damaged it

doesn’t have to reach end stage

phosphorus can be very damaging to the

kidney so anyone with any type of kidney

damage should be careful about too much

phosphorus excess phosphorus can really

damage the heart it can make the

ventricles enlarged it can also lead to

calcium deposits in your arteries

because that excess phosphorus will

dissolve the bone and leach it out and

it can end up in your arteries so you

have osteoporosis or osteopenia you get

fractures and then all that calcium

plugs up your arteries not a good

situation so take a well guess where

most people would get excess amounts of

phosphorus hint-hint

soda especially the dark-colored soda

it’s loaded with a lot of phosphorus up

to 500 milligrams per soda why do they

put it in there well because it gives a

tangy flavor it decreases mold and

bacteria and it actually gives you a

little spike in energy but phosphorus is

also in other foods too you should start

reading the labels it’s in a lot of junk

foods it’s in a lot of processed foods

so when you read the labels and it says

foss it’s it’s containing phosphorus

sodium phosphate is more phosphorus so I

just wanted to do this video to make you

aware that excess amounts of certain

nutrients can be just as bad as

deficiencies
