Sugary Drinks Tied With Gout

Built by Teresita C. Tayanes on Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Consumption of soft drinks containing fructose or sugar may cause the sharp increase in gout, not only in obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to a report discussed during the annual meeting of the British Society for Rheumatology.



Traditional treatment for the prevention of gout used to emphasize limiting the consumption of purine-rich food because of the uric acid in them. In this report, fructose was also implicated in the increase of gout indirectly. The process was explained by a rheumatologist from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. The process involves the breakdown of adenosine triphosphate to adenosine monophosphate.
