Best Answer

no sugar can not directly cause gout.

however high sugar consumption leads to obesity which is a risk factor for hyperuricemia,hypertension,Diabetes ; the last two affect kidney and hence removal of uric acid from body and ultimately can lead to hyperuricemia.

thus indirectly sugar can lead to hyperuricemia which in turn causes gout.

but sugar cannot cause gout directly.
