10 Foods That Cause Gout
Food #5: Sugary Drinks
Sugary drinks are not only unsafe for individuals with gout, but they are also harmful for diabetics and those with high serum triglycerides.
Beverages with high-fructose corn syrup, such as sodas and fruit juices, should be avoided. The sweeteners not only cause a significant build-up of uric acid, but also pack on the pounds as well when consumed in excess. One study showed that men who consumed high levels of fructose were more likely to develop gout. This study was also done on women, and the results were the same.
