It is only just a tiny bit, but enough to give a reaction on your tongue/mouth to produce a bit of saliva after you have been drinking a can, which contributes to the "thirst quenching" feeling.

Below is a table that shows the amount of phosphorus in 100 grams of different products:

Coca-Cola

17 mg

Milk, Whole, 3.3% Fat

93 mg

Ice Cream, Vanilla

105 mg

Chicken, Light, w/skin, Stewed

146 mg

Chicken Liver Pate

175 mg

Ham, Sliced, Regular

247 mg

Peanuts, All Types, Raw

376 mg

Cheese, Cheddar

512 mg

This is from the Coke page which makes it look like Cola has much less phosphorus than other foods. Although I don't question their numbers, I suspect that the issue is that Cola contains phosphorus without calcium which may make it dangerous?
