I had a friend on dialysis some years ago. Even back then, cola was absolutely forbidden for him and nearly anyone with limited kidney fuction. Phosphorus is especially hard on the kidneys.

Funny thing is, the phosphorus is an added ingredient. It adds an edge to the cola taste that focus groups prefer, so none of the cola manufacturers have ever considered changing it.
