Answer 2

A study of over 46,000 men showed that drinking two or more sweetened soft drinks a day increased the risk of gout by 85% compared to men that drank than one sugary drink a month. five to six sugary drinks a week increased the risk of gout attacks.

Fructose a type of sugar that occurs naturally in fruits and is added to other drinks and foods to sweeten them. Has been sited as causing the problem.

The link between gout and sugary drinks has never been identified before.and it's not just fizzy drinks thatseem to cause problems, the showed that Orange Juice and other fruit juices have the same effect. Eating an apple or an orange once a day also put men at a 64 % greater risk of gout than men who ate less than one apple or orange a month.

The authors of the study, published last week in the BMJ, stress that this doesn't mean you should avoid all fruit and vegetables if you have gout - rather that the risks of certain fruits need to be balanced against their clear health benefits.

It's hoped that the findings will help people with gout manage their symptoms. A spokesperson for Arthritis Care explained: "It is essential for people with conditions like gout to have access to good quality and up-to-date information to help them manage their own health.

In the US, where this study was conducted, the fructose levels in fizzy drinks are higher than those seen in the UK. This means that fizzy drinks in the UK may have a smaller impact on the risk of gout than in the US.
