I was hoping to gauge a response from those of you that find an analytical approach to a dietician’s analysis of prearranged phosphorous intake to be conducive to the actual dietary needs for most people. Specifically in regard to overincumbence of the minerals that relate to regular release function. After receiving a review from a professional and analyzing the input given i can't seem to grasp the approach as it was mentioned to me. I just struggle with straying from what has always been commonplace amongst what was always my understanding of the matter. Does anyone here have any background information or experience that would lend to this type of dietary regimen? I welcome any feedback especially any information conducive to aid in the overall understanding of such a wide ranging and changing topic.

Thanks.

    Must grab coffee first... Wait... even after that-- not sure I wanna grasp what you said...

    I'm quite ok with that... Goodluck! :)

    After hours of painstaking analysis i've come to this conclusion.

    EAT LESS - MOVE MORE.
  • Phi Beta Kappa but not in this field of research... However this is interesting:

    http://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/nutrition/phosphorus-in-diet/overview.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/nutrition/phosphorus-in-diet/overview.html

    "The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth.
    It plays an important role in how the body uses carbohydrates and fats. It is also needed for the body to make protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.
    Phosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also helps with the following:
    Kidney function
    Muscle contractions
    Normal heartbeat
    Nerve signaling"

    But don't take too much. Keep to just eating healthy.

    "There is generally no deficiency of phosphorus because it is so readily available in the food supply.
    Excessively high levels of phosphorus in the blood, although rare, can combine with calcium to form deposits in soft tissues such as muscle. High levels of phosphorus in blood only occur in people with severe kidney disease or severe dysfunction of their calcium regulation."

    Hit up the guy at Suppversity. He'll probably know.

    Are you hypophosphatemic? If you haven't been told by a medical professional that you have hypophosphatemia, then I wouldn't worry about it too much, so long as the ratio of Ca, Mg, and Ph are in order, you'll live.

    I sprinkle some phosphorus into my cereal every morning.

    Unless you are trying to grow vegetables with your skin I don't think the phosophorus intake means anything. I think the dietician is trying to confuse you.

    We have a saying in recovery.....Keep it simple stupid. (they've removed the "stupid" part lately. I still use it.) When eating turns into a breaksown of chemical components, it becomes an obsession. It's fuel. Fuel your body with good stuff and leave the science to the scientists.

    Hey, I love chemistry and science but not when it starts to get mixed in with the elements I'm supposed to be consuming. It's hard enough to eat a balanced diet without microanalyzing it.

    Or if you're training for a college varsity sport and consuming a gallon of milk a day...... What, I like milk, I'm probably just about the only woman in existence that's been told by a doctor to lay off it for a while! :laugh:

    As for the OP's question, I have some training in physiology, but this isn't really my field. Can you link us some sources to what you're talking about. I'd be interested to read up on it.

    Replying to this thread is no way to gauge intelligence. I just wanted to point that out.

    Agreed. An intelligent reply in here simply means you have studied this subject.

    C) Drink your water and eat more fish.

    Sorry, (C) is usually the correct answer.

    The levels of phosphorus required to have this occur are well beyond normal human consumption.

    The major conditions associated with symptomatic hypophosphatemia are chronic alcoholism, intravenous hyperalimentation without phosphate, and the chronic ingestion of antacids. Unless they add another symptom ie talking out of your *kitten*, you are good to go

    I worry more about my ytterbium intake than phosphorus.
