Drinking soda for a long time cannot lower uric acid. Natural soda is a weak alkaline drink, drinking this soda can alkalize urine and promote the dissolution of uric acid in urine, which can help uric acid to be excreted from the body, and itself has no role in lowering uric acid. For the commercially available soda, because it is a synthetic beverage, containing more sweeteners and synthetic substances, long-term consumption of this type of soda, not only can not promote uric acid excretion, but also may lead to an increase in uric acid levels. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink sodas sold for long-term uric acid reduction therapy. Patients can drink plain water as well as light tea. In addition to this type of soda, other drinks like carbonated drinks and fruit juices rich in fructose can also raise uric acid.
