Status: Not recommended
Sprite is classified as not recommended for Gout based on current dietary assessments. Beverages may contain sugar, caffeine, acids or other substances that can be considered in dietary management of specific conditions. With gout, the purine content of foods is a central focus, as purines are broken down in the body to uric acid. Persistently elevated uric acid is described in dietary assessments as a relevant factor for gout attacks. The reasoning given is: high sugar and fructose content inhibits uric acid excretion. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
