Soft drinks lead to dramatic increase in Gout

 

 

Men who drink high volumes of sugary soft drinks have an increased risk of gout* (British Medical Journal).

 

More than 46,000 men, aged 40 or over, with no history of gout, were followed over the course of 12 years. The researchers compiled data on more than 130 different foods and drink.

 

The results showed that compared to men who consumed less than one soft drink per month, those who drank five to six soft drinks per week had a 29% higher risk of developing gout.

 

The men who drank two or more per day had an 85% higher risk.

 

* Gout is a common type of arthritis caused by excessive uric acid. It’s most commonly located in the big toes, but also the rest of the foot or ankle, knee, wrist, fingers and top of the ear.  Gout mainly affects men over the age of 30 and is extremely painful.  It is usually easily controlled by diet, elimination of alcohol, and slow controlled weight loss if necessary.  Read more here
