Fructose in sugar-sweetened sodas may raise the risk of kidney stones
Drinking sugar-sweetened soda may lead to kidney stones.
Researchers tracked more than 194,000 people for roughly eight years. Those who drank at least one serving of sugar-sweetened cola a day had a 23 percent higher risk of kidney stones than those who drank less than one serving a week. Likewise, those who drank at least one serving of sugar-sweetened non-cola a day had a 33 percent higher risk than those who drank less than one serving a week.
Researchers suggest that fructose may increase the risk of kidney stones by causing the kidneys to excrete more calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. (Most kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate.)
