Scientists suspect that the high fructose corn syrup found in soda may be the culprit in a recent study finding that women who consumed the most soda — a marker for intake of high fructose corn syrup — had an 86% increased risk of albuminuria, a sensitive marker for early kidney disease. [Shoham D, et al “Sugary soda consumption and albuminuria: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004” PLoS ONE 2008; DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0003431.]
