Added Sugars in Your Diet May Increase Your Risk of Developing Kidney Stones

​“A diet high in added sugars can increase the levels of certain substances in the urine, such as oxalate and calcium, which are key components of kidney stones. When these substances become concentrated in the urine, they can crystallize and form stones in the kidneys or urinary tract,” says Kara Burnstine, MSRD, LDN, CDCES, a dietician and diabetes educator at Pritikin Longevity Center.

  • Added sugars in your diet can increase your risk of developing kidney stones, according to new research.
  • People who get more than 25% of their total energy from added sugars could have an 88% higher chance of kidney stones than those who get less than 5% of their energy from added sugars.
  • Health experts say there are simple steps you can take to cut the amount of added sugars you eat each day.
Added sugars are linked to kidney stones and should be added to the list of risk factors. That’s according to a first-of-its-kind new study published in Frontiers in Nutrition.

The new research is based on a systematic analysis of self-reported data from 28,303 adults on kidney stone history and daily added sugar intake collected from 2007 to 2018 within the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
​
The results suggest that limiting added sugar intake may help to prevent the formation of kidney stones.
