Gout patients can drink soda, a natural soda is a kind of weak alkaline water rich in many trace elements, which can alkalize urine, raise the pH value of urine, promote the dissolution of uric acid in urine, and thus can help uric acid to be excreted from the body. But this is only limited to natural soda, which is only produced in a very few areas. Most of the sodas available on the market are synthetic, with many sweeteners added to increase the sugar content in the soda, so it tastes better when consumed. However, if you drink too much of this synthetic soda, the sugar content may induce an increase in the production of uric acid, thus triggering a gout attack, so patients are not encouraged to drink too much of this soda and are advised to drink more plain water or light tea.
