calcium carbonate binds ingested Phosphorus

[Guest guest]

FWIW,

http://www.felinecrf.org/treatments.htm#high_phosphorus

I have pondered the issue of high phosphorus content of veggies because a friend was required to control P in predialysis. That was just to lower dialysis reqt's, I think.

This article talks about chronic renal failure in cats, but my point is that calcium carbonate is used to bind excess P in diet.

Maybe some human biochemist can tell us how much Ca carbonate to reduce P intake to maybe 100% RDA instead of the 600% I ingest with veggies?
