DESCRIPTION: The consumption of phosphorus preservatives in junk food and injected into meat may damage blood vessels, accelerate the aging process, and contribute to osteoporosis.

Here's a direct link to my kidney video: Treating Kidney Failure Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-kidney-failure-through-diet/). And my discussion of plant versus animal iron sources: Risk Associated With Iron Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/risk-associated-with-iron-supplements/).

Another toxic addition to alter the color of meat is arsenic-containing drugs fed directly to chickens. See my video Arsenic in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arsenic-in-chicken/). Carbon monoxide is used to keep red meat red, canthoxanthins keep salmon pink (Artificial Coloring in Fish, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artificial-coloring-in-fish/) and titanium dioxide is used to whiten processed foods (Titanium Dioxide & Inflammatory Bowel Disease, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/titanium-dioxide-inflammatory-bowel-disease/). It's amazing the risks the food industry will take to alter food cosmetically (Artificial Food Colors and ADHD, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artificial-food-colors-and-adhd/).

There are other harmful additives in soda as well (Is Sodium Benzoate Harmful?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-sodium-benzoate-harmful/ and Diet Soda and Preterm Birth, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-soda-and-preterm-birth/).

What else is in poultry purge (chicken "juice")? Find out (if you dare!) in my next video, Phosphate Additives in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-chicken).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-meat-purge-and-cola/ and he'll try to answer it!
