Gout isn’t just a disease that attacked historical heavyweights like Henry VIII.
A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association seeks to determine if sugar-laden sodas and orange juice increase the likelihood that women will develop gout. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when crystals of uric acid accumulate in a joint.
Over 22 year study, researchers did find that consuming high-fructose beverages did increase women’s risk of developing gout. That said, out of the nearly 79,000 women in the study, only 778 developed the disease over that period. Source: https://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/jama.2010.1638v1?rss=1
