If phosphate ions are present in abnormally high concentrations, could that cause issues for some species of bacteria? AFAIK our phosphate is usually contained within our cells, and I'm definitely not an expert on the digestive process so I'm not sure how phosphate gets absorbed, at what rate, or if any enzymes would mess with it
- refurb 4y agoPhosphate is present in every cell of your body and in extracellular fluid. Your kidneys keep phosphate levels within a very narrow range.
- feet 4y agoRight, so what happens if the concentration is too high in the intestines? What is the absorption rate compared to the concentration in coke zero? Would it take slamming 6 coke zeros in a row on an empty stomach to hit concentrations that would be bad for the previously mentioned species?
- refurb 4y agoIt won't be too high by the time it hits your intestines. It'll be absorbed and excreted in the urine.
