Where does the fructose/soda/gout relationship place drinking diet sodas if one is prone to gout?

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Studies have found a link between sugary sodas and gout, particularly in men, as described in this 2008 article: Soda and Gout
Here also is an article I wrote about Gout: Gout Advocacy Sheet
Here is an article about eliminating all soda from your diet; there is a mention about arthritic conditions and how artificial sweeteners create cravings and have been linked to cancer: 7 Reasons To Stop Drinking Soda
Hope the information helps!
