How much do you know about gout?

People in the past were undernourished, but now people are mostly overnourished! High blood sugar, high blood lipids, high blood pressure, three highs are not enough, and the fourth highest, high uric acid.

High uric acid is actually not a big deal, even when gout attacks, it is really painful! However, why many people do not eat seafood, avoid alcohol, and uric acid is still not lowered? What's even stranger is that many children also get gout! Children don`t drink beer either! If you don`t drink beer or seafood, you may not get gout. There is a thing in our lives that can raise uric acid but is ignored by many people-juice!

Researchers in Boston, the United States, surveyed 80,000 women in 22 years. The survey content mainly included the diet of participants. They came to the following conclusions: Women who drink 1 cup of orange juice a day have a 41% increase in gout risk; women who drink 2 cups of orange juice a day have a 2.4 times increase in gout risk. The study also found that a can of sugary soft drinks can increase the risk of gout in women by 70%; drinking more than two cans can increase the risk of gout by more than 2.4 times. So, the term sugar-coated cannonball will never be outdated!

Why is this? Are these juices and drinks poisonous?

It's very simple, because fruit juices and drinks contain fructose. Fructose is the culprit that causes our gout recurring! Fructose is a simple sugar that is widely found in fruits and honey. Its strength lies in its sweetness.

We can score the sweetness, if sucrose counts as 100 points, then the grape sugar is 74 points, lactose is 16 points, and fructose is 173 points! The decomposition process of fructose in the body will directly produce uric acid, which is equivalent to increasing the source of endogenous uric acid. At the same time, fructose will reduce renal uric acid excretion, and further increase the body's uric acid. Under this dual influence, the human body's uric acid level will remain high. An investigation found that fructose reduces the rate of uric acid clearance in the body by 98%!

If the focus of lowering uric acid is solely on the intake of purines, but fructose is ignored The effects of source uric acid production and uric acid excretion may eventually lead to a decrease in purines, but uric acid is still high, and gout continues to recur! Far more than that, in addition to interfering with purine metabolism, fructose also interferes with insulin metabolism. If too much fructose is taken, human insulin sensitivity will decrease and insulin resistance will occur, which will cause diabetes in the long run.

It is inevitable for us to eat fruit every day. Isn`t it a disaster for fructose?

First of all, make sure to eat moderate amounts of fruit every day, not excessive, and not to drink fruit juice as water. And try not to squeeze fruit, especially freshly squeezed fruit juice, which is more likely to induce gout attacks.

Second, stop all sweet drinks, including cola, juice, and energy drinks. They are rich in fructose, which is simply a fuse for gout attacks.

Third, say goodbye to honey! The fructose content of honey exceeds 70%, which is equivalent to a fructose mine, and patients with gout must stay away from it.

Fourth, apples, bananas, pears, mangos, lychees, cantaloupes, watermelons, melons and other fruits have high fructose content. People with gout should not eat too much, and no more than 500 grams per day.

Fifth, all kinds of baked cakes, such as donuts, biscuits, and cakes, are all high-fructose foods; all kinds of syrups, high-fructose corn syrup, and corn sweeteners are all high-fructose additives, so patients with gout must pay attention to snacks when choosing snacks.

One last sentence: Fruit juice is not as nutritious as fruit, and fructose beverages should not be drunk, especially for children. Never drink fruit juice as water. Drinking a lot of fruit juice drinks is the culprit of gout in most children. For the majority of gout patients, the best drink is plain water!
