Sugary Drinks Increase Kidney Stone Risk.

Sugary drinks were associated with a higher risk of kidney stone formation in a CJASN analysis of data on 194,095 individuals followed on average for more than 8 years. People who consumed one or more sugar-sweetened cola servings per day had a 23% higher risk of developing kidney stones than those consuming less than one serving per week. There was a 33% increased risk linked with sugar-sweetened non-cola. Several drinks were associated with lower risks: 26% for caffeinated coffee, 16% for decaffeinated coffee, 11% for tea, 31% to 33% for wine, 41% for beer, and 12% for orange juice.
