Important food sources of fructose-containing sugars and incident gout: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated with hyperuricaemia and gout. Whether other important food sources of fructose-containing sugars share this association is unclear.
