Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether eating fructose increases the chance of developing gout, based on data from prospective cohort studies.
  • It found that higher fructose intake is linked to a greater risk of gout, especially when comparing those with the highest versus the lowest consumption levels, but the overall evidence quality is considered low.
  • However, the review did not find any studies specifically assessing the connection between fructose intake and hyperuricemia, and most studies involved mainly white health professionals, indicating limited diversity in the data.]

@JewWishAshke There have been several studies linking fructose and gout. And it’s still being studied. https://t.co/JCwLdAfsTS HFCS is a hidden ingredient in a lot of processed foods. I know many carnivore and Keto followers that have cleared their gout and have stopped taking meds for it
