• Phosphoric acid also goes by E338, orthophosphoric acid, and phosphoric(V) acid.
• Food-grade phosphoric acid is a mass-produced chemical, available cheaply and in large quantities.
• Phosphoric acid is commonly used for rust removal.
• Phosphorus-containing substances occur naturally (0.1%-0.5%) in foods such as milk, meat, poultry, fish, nuts, and egg yolks.
• According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a consumer watchdog group not affiliated with the food industry, only a small fraction of the phosphate in the American diet comes from additives in soft drinks. Most comes from meat and dairy products. So your reason for not drinking Coke should be its sugar content and artificial food colorings, not the phosphoric acid.
