Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products containing phosphorus additives (\~1gm/d of phosphorus) will be given for 3 weeks At the beginning of the study participants receive dietary education to reduce their baseline consumption of phosphorus to a goal of \~1gm/d by receiving education on avoiding phosphorus-based additives Higher phosphorus period: Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products containing phosphorus additives (\~1gm/d of phosphorus) given for 3 weeks Lower phosphorus period: Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products without any phosphorus additives given for 3 weeks

Lower Phosphorus Period
n=31 Participants
Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products containing phosphorus additives (\~1gm/d of phosphorus) will be given for 3 weeks At the beginning of the study participants receive dietary education to reduce their baseline consumption of phosphorus to a goal of \~1gm/d by receiving education on avoiding phosphorus-based additives. Patients then randomized to higher phosphorus period or lower phosphorus period first. Higher phosphorus period: Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products containing phosphorus additives (\~1gm/d of phosphorus) given for 3 weeks Lower phosphorus period: Commercially-available unaltered food/beverage products without any phosphorus additives given for 3 weeks

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 weeks

Plasma FGF-23 will be measured at the end of each 3 week period in the morning after an overnight fast. As this is a small pilot study, we will not adjust for multiple comparisons. A p value\<0.05 will be considered statistically significant for both outcomes

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2-3 weeks

Blood pressure was measured at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3. At each visit, 3 readings were obtained in the seated position by trained and certified observers after 5 minutes of rest with an Omron HEM-907 device (Omron Healthcare Inc, Bannockburn, Ill) using a standardized protocol. We used the average of all blood pressure measurements at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3 for each period.
