Abstract
This scoping review aims to describe the totality of evidence for the role of phosphorus for health-related outcomes as a basis for setting and updating dietary reference values (DRVs). Phosphorus is needed in many biological processes, such as cellular metabolism and bone mineralization. Dietary phosphorus intake exceeds the previous Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR2012) 2-3-fold in the Nordic countries. Intake from food additives is unknown but may play a significant role because the use of phosphate additives is common in the food industry. Bioavailability of phosphorus in plant-based products is lower than animal-based products. Nevertheless, bioavailability of phosphorus additives is higher. The main phosphorus-related health outcomes concern high phosphorus intake mainly from food additives with potential adverse effects on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular health.
