Randomized Cross-over Study Examining the Effects of Phosphorus Additives on Urinary Albumin Excretion and Fibroblast Growth Factor-23

Phosphorus-based food additives are commonly used by food manufacturers for many
applications, such as enhancing flavor, in ready-to-eat foods and beverages. While these
additives can significantly increase an individual's daily phosphorus intake, little is known
about the effect of dietary phosphorus on kidney health. In this study, the investigators
will first lower baseline phosphorus intake to about 1000mg/d by educating participants to
avoid foods with phosphorus additives. Then, participants will be randomized to a higher
phosphorus period (~2gm/d) and a lower phosphorus period (~1gm/d) by providing unaltered,
commercially-available food/beverage products with and without phosphorus additives.

The investigators hypothesize that participants will have higher urine albumin excretion and
fibroblast growth factor-23 during the higher phosphorus period compared to the lower
phosphorus period.
