Hi Everyone!
Yes, I'm going out of my mind.
I do believe the artist is Tina Ann
Here is an example. I found this (so called) kidney friendly baking powder. Regular baking powder is high in phosphorus. So I find this.
I think, great I have a substitute. However, with further research, I find that Cream of Tartar is a by product of the wind making process.
Cream of tartar is a white, fine powder made from tartaric acid, a natural byproduct of the wine making process, specifically the crystalline acid deposited on the walls of wine vats, and is also known as potassium bitartrate or potassium hydrogen tartrate. So this substitute may be low in phosphorus but it is very high in potassium. In fact, 990mg per tsp. OK, I get it if I use 1 tsp in, say muffins and divide that 990mg by 12 it's 82.5mg of potassium per muffin. That doesn't sound like a lot but I have to add the 3ps from all of the other ingredients in the muffins. Like I wrote before, I can't believe no one has put out kidney friendly foods? In addition every web site contradicts each other. Another thing, that I didn't know before. Vegetables like spinach for example. 3 oz of Raw spinach contains 2.7 g protein, 167.4mg of potassium, and 15mg of phoss. Now let's cook this, it all changes. Protein not so much,
it goes up to 2.9g, Potassium goes up to 839mg and phoss goes up to 100.8mg. Any vegetable that shrinks when cooked nutrients go up. If you are trying to eat a kidney friendly diet. I hope my madness helps you. LOL
