Fructose-rich beverages, such as soda and orange juices sweetened with added sugar, can elevate risks of recurring acute inflammatory arthritis known as gout among women, a new study has found.

Results from the 22-year-long study monitoring soda and fruit juice consumption by roughly 80,000 nurses from 1984-2006 were published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) last week. The research was conducted by the Boston University School of Medicine.
