I had a good laugh watching this. Im no fancy educated person myself, but I did put alot of reading into what could be causing my condition.
Tri sodium phosphate lmao is not poisonous. Its like the phosphoric acid they put in colas. Small quantitys that are watered down, versus purely concentrated forms of it. This is why im still nervous about ordering phosphoric acid, id rather not buy the industrial stuff.
If you ate/drank the industrial form of it, itll prolly burn a hole through your stomach.
But small doses are fine, and in the case of tsp used in many foods, like cheeses. Im not so worried about the tri sodium phosphate as I am about the pesticides/insecticides/fertilizer that is inside the plant since the day it started growing.
The supplements that I took for like 6 months before I started getting sahara level dry mouth in the middle of th enight, were sodium phosphate. Phosphate on its own is pretty unstable so needs to be bound to something to keep it from just dissipating into the air. Ive only ever seen sodium and potassium phosphate tablets. My potassium is already a little on the high side, so I dont know about taking those either.
The only real danger from phosphates is if you have chronic kidney disease and you arent disposing of phosphorous properly. Again I have the opposite problem, my high parathyroid hormone is making it impossible for me to keep my phosphate levels up. Its absolutely FUCKING BRUTAL.
Processed foods like cereal may contain trisodium phosphate, a food additive. Consuming small amounts of trisodium phosphate is most likely safe. But excessive consumption can lead to unhealthy levels of phosphorous.
Although certain types of sodium phosphate are used in cleaning and paint products, it’s important to know that these are not the same as food-grade sodium phosphate.
Food-grade sodium phosphate is used throughout the world and recognized as safe by major regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the European Union (1).
Consuming small amounts of foods that contain sodium phosphate is most likely not harmful to your health.
However, since many people consume fast food, processed meats, and packaged foods on a daily basis, there is concern that high levels of sodium phosphate can harm the body.
Literally just sodium and phosphorous...two critical minerals that the body needs.
Organic phosphorus, which is found naturally in foods such as dairy products and meats, has a much lower and slower absorption rate than the inorganic type of phosphorus (sodium phosphate) that is added to processed foods.
Organic phosphorus is much less absorbable than inorganic phosphorus.
The digestive system absorbs only 40–60% of organic phosphorus, while it absorbs up to 100% of the inorganic phosphorus found in foods such as cereals, cakes, soda, and deli meats
Sigh I switched to 1% milk to supplement the pop, so im drinking about a liter and half of cola a day. Im not sure how im not diabetic yet. (I do intermittent fast 99% of the time still and I dont drink pop before noon, thats when ive been drinking the 1% milk which doesnt give me diarrea so friggin bad compared to whole)
My phosphorous feels lower than ever :(. Nova scotia trying to kill my ass.
This is like when I was asking it about these chemical ingredients in "coolers" and why would they add that shit, eh. Like remember that one it said, oh to balance the PH and make it less acidic. Well.. let's start with looking up about Tri sodium phosphate.
"Trisodium phosphate (TSP), or TSP cleaner, is a heavy-duty, alkaline cleaning agent (Na3PO4) known for its ability to remove grease, grime, and stains, and is often used to prepare surfaces for painting"
That's basically like paint thinner. lol. Then they try to get a little more "mild" about how it's bad.
"Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 3PO 4. It is a white, granular or crystalline solid, highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. TSP is used as a cleaning agent, builder, lubricant, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser."

Acidity Regulation:
TSP can help to adjust the pH levels in cereals, preventing them from becoming too acidic. This is important for maintaining a desirable flavor and extending shelf life.
Texture Enhancement:
It can contribute to the texture of cereals, sometimes helping to create a more consistent and appealing product.
Processing Aid:
It can also function as an antickaing agent to ensure the extruded cereal dry and free-flowing through extruder equipment.
Phosphorus Supplement:
It can fortify phosphorus levels in the cereal.
Essentially, TSP plays a role in:
Improving the overall quality and stability of the cereal.
Ensuring a consistent product.
It's important to note that while TSP has industrial uses, the food-grade version used in cereals is regulated and considered safe for consumption in the amounts used.
However, like any food additive, excessive consumption of phosphates can have potential health implications, particularly for individuals with kidney issues.

This guy has no clue what hes talking about lmao.
