Current Dietary Phosphorus Intake: Are there Potential Implications for Public Health? Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 Time: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Location: The New York Academy of Sciences, New York City Conference Description: This conference will highlight changes in understanding of hormonal regulation of phosphorus homeostasis and how this may explain potential adverse health effects of phosphorus intakes beyond nutrient requirements, exploring in particular the relationship with kidney function, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, hypertension and cancer. A panel discussion will identify further areas of research and discuss how existing evidence should be considered as well as needs to new evidence for the upcoming review of dietary guidelines for Americans in 2015. Network with attendees and speakers from key academic and governmental institutions.  CONFERENCE AGENDA 8:30 AM - Registration & Breakfast 9:00 AM - Welcome Remarks Mandana Arabi, MD, PhD, The Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science SESSION I: Overview: the Current Intake of Phosphorus in the United States and Changing Understanding of the Hormonal Regulation of Phosphorus Homeostasis Chair: Jaime Uribarri, MD, The Mount Sinai School of Medicine 9:15 AM - Historic Development of Health Concerns for the Current Phosphorus Intake in the United States Jaime Uribarri, MD, The Mount Sinai School of Medicine 9:25 AM - Phosphorus Content of the United States Food Supply: Dietary Intake Guidelines, Current Intake Levels and Primary Dietary Sources Mona S.
