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.

Many popular fad diets are nutrient deficient diets marketed to overweight and obese people with one or more chronic diseases.
Nutrient packed balanced diets like Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) have been around for decades and in some cases millennia. They do not generate as much publicity or interest because they are not rapid weight loss diets. By eating a diet providing the nutrients your body needs, one can lose excess weight and keep it off.
