Fructose intake as a risk factor for kidney stone disease.
Taylor and Curhan report that consumption of fructose is independently associated with an increased risk of incident kidney stones.

And how should we incorporate this finding into the dietary advice that we give to our patients to prevent kidney stone formation?
