Elevation of blood Uric acid levels is now considered as the key to the development of metabolic syndrome, particularly cardiovascular disease, hypertension and inflammatory status. In recent years, it is becoming clearer that elevation of uric acid is linked to the consumption of fructose in various food types, and therefore, dietary restriction plays a very important role in regulating serum uric acid and the problems associated with its elevation.

Fructose Worsens Gout: Consumption of soft drinks sweetened with sugar and fructose is strongly associated with an increased risk for gout, according to the results of a prospective cohort study reported in the February 1 Online First issue of the BMJ. This was a 12-year follow-up study of 46,393 health professionals without a previous history of gout and the goal was to assess the relationship between consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fructose and the risk for incident gout.
