15 High Phosphorous Foods




Phosphorous is an essential mineral. Chemical phosphates are added to foods from cereals to sodas.  They prevent discoloration, emulsify, and are food for yeast. But, too much phosphorous can erode tooth enamel and cause kidney damage. People with kidney disease should limit dietary phosphorous.

As with most vitamin and minerals, the risk of adverse side affects and toxicity is low when phosphorous comes from a diet of minimally processed foods. The risk increase with diets high in processed foods.

Best Essential Dietary Nutrient Foods Part II – Protein

Best Essential Dietary Nutrient Foods Part I – Fats




Dietary fat is an essential nutrient. This video shares why dietary fat is essential and risks associated with eating diets high in fat especially saturated fat from meat, dairy, butter, and coconut oil.

This video is part I of a six part video serious about obtaining essential nutrients from natural, low calorie foods.

Added Sodium Versus Natural Sodium




Sodium is an essential mineral found in most foods. The most common source of sodium is salt. Diets high in prepared foods including restaurant foods provide too much added sodium. High sodium diets can increase the risk of high blood pressure in people who are sodium sensitive or have kidney disease.

Added Sugar Versus Natural Sugar




Sugar is a leading contributor to weight gain and type 2 diabetes. Some low carb diets eliminate many foods providing natural sugars without providing any scientific evidence. Some people believe anyone with type 2 diabetes should not eat sweet fruit. Research shows people eating high plant food diets including sweet fruit are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

For many overweight Americans, the problem is not foods providing natural sugars, the problem is diets high in processed foods with added sugars.

Cooking And Baking By Weight Versus Volume




American home cooks measure recipe ingredients by volume (cups, spoons) versus weight (ounces, pounds). This is partly due to the U.S. being the only country using imperial units of measure instead of metric. American restaurants and bakers use weight.

Some old home cooked recipes used weight like the pound cake. The recipe called for one pound each of eggs, flour and sugar. Of course, to cook using weights instead of cups requires owning an accurate kitchen scale. Most kitchen scales are now digital instead of analog and can display units in ounces or grams.

For many recipes measuring using cups works fine. But, in some cases, using weights is more accurate and contestant. Measuring a cup of chopped broccoli is not as accurate as weighing 160 grams (5.6 oz) of broccoli. The same with measuring pasta using cups.

This video shares some advantages of measuring ingredients by weight instead of volume (cups) for more consistent results especially making cakes, muffins, pancakes, and biscuits.

Should You Eat A High Or Low Potassium Diet?




Potassium is an essential nutrient. Depending on your source of information, the recommended amount of daily potassium is between 2,500 to 4,700 milligrams. Since potassium deficiency is so rare in the U.S., there is no official recommend dietary allowance (RDA). Many food manufacturers use 4,000 mg a day to calculate the daily value (DV) listed on nutrition facts labels.

RDA’s and DV’s apply to healthy people. People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) must restrict potassium and other minerals because their kidneys cannot remove excess amounts. And in many cases, including potassium, high blood levels can be as dangerous as low levels.

One Interest rumor is that people with CKD must avoid high potassium foods. That is a myth. People with CKD must limit total daily potassium to essential amount. Whether the potassium comes high or low potassium foods is up to each individual.
