[Phosphorus: Animal flesh and dairy are high in phosphorus as well as acid-forming (bad) in the body. They produce phosphate which ends up in the blood. Plants also contain phosphorus but are alkaline-forming (good) and produce phytate, which helps bind phosphorus and make it much less bioavailable in the blood system than animal-based phosphorus. <-- Which makes sense since we are biologically herbivores.]
