High intake of fructose has been shown to be associated with the outbreak of obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia and also non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Furthermore, it seems to elevate the risk of gout and hence kidney stones. In this regard, the mechanism of fructose on the induction of chronic kidney disease is ascribed to its role in hypertension and diabetes.
