Wikipedia on hyperurecemia
From WiseGeek
Happy Labor Day!
This site made earlier post attributing to increased consumption of alcohol and softdrinks as culprit for hyperurecemia (elevated uric acid level in the blood) We normally point to increase consumption of purines contained in vegies high and protein, fish and meat products as the cause. But sugary drinks, we do not know contribute to hyperurecemia. They softdrinks, sugary drinks are the silent/unknown culprit.
On softdrinks: Let me copy paste from Wikipedia the reason/logic as to how and why sugary drinks
High dietary intake of fructose contributes significantly to hyperuricemia.[12][13][14] In a large study in the United States, consumption of four or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks per day gave an odds ratio of 1.82 for hyperuricemia.[15] Increased production of uric acid is the result of interference, by a product of fructose metabolism, in purine metabolism. This interference has a dual action, both increasing the conversion of ATP to inosine and hence uric acid and increasing the synthesis of purine.[16] Fructose also inhibits the excretion of uric acid, apparently by competing with uric acid for access to the transport protein

Alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and sugary drinks also can cause gout. Vegetables that are rich in purines were once thought to be among the foods that cause gout, but research has indicated that this might not be true. Dairy products also can contain purines, but their consumption has not been proved to increase the risk of gout — and some research has suggested that low-fat dairy products reduce the risk.
Need we say more. Take the word of experts.
Slow down your consumption of drinks containing fructose. Or avoid them completely
