Away with Arthritis
Sugar requires phosphorous for its metabolism as does white bread and caffeine (tea, coffee). Phosphorous is removed from the bone to metabolise these common foods where processing has removed many of the original minerals. Sugar utilises phosphorus, magnesium and chromium. When phosphorus is withdrawn from bone, calcium comes out too and as it is not needed is excreted in the urine. Soft drinks have both sugar and more phosphorus than is needed for sugar metabolism. The excess phosphorous combines with calcium upsetting the calcium phosphorus balance resulting in less available calcium. Caffeine also requires phosphorus and magnesium to metabolise. Sodium and potassium are lost at the same time.
