Not true. It seems that someone is misunderstanding the new trends in the topic of increasing uric acid.
Uric acid is produced in our liver. We don't eat it. It comes from purines. But already purines we can eat.
Sometimes uric acid has not yet had time to harm, but simply rises in the blood.
Sometimes uric acid crystals spoil something inside our body. This is called gout.
Sometimes uric acid produces kidney stones.
It also happens that uric acid itself poisons the kidneys.
Diet
At all times, when people are faced with an increase in the level of uric acid, this same level has been tried to reduce with the help of diet.
Much has changed now. If a person has gout or kidney damage, then no one really bothers with a special diet. All because of the many new drugs that will lower uric acid levels even without diet.
But in cases where uric acid has increased, but has not yet damaged anything, it would be just interesting to change something in the diet. Because until a diagnosis of gout or kidney damage is made, there is usually no question of any drugs.
And so the idea appeared that meat is allowed, but porridge is not allowed. This is not true.
Meat
People with high blood uric acid levels but no gout should eat less meat and less fish but more low-fat dairy products. That is, better protein from milk than animal protein. Note that fish are also discouraged in this thread.
Carbohydrates
Initially, it was about simple carbohydrates and especially about fructose.
No one in their right mind would prohibit whole grains like cereals. Just like bread. These are healthy complex carbohydrates. They should be in the diet.
Limit sweets. The worst is fructose.
It seems that the harm of sweets is most noticeable on the Americans. They do not use our sucrose, but invert syrup, which they drive from corn.
This bullshit consists of a mixture of glucose and fructose. That is, in fact, this is our sugar, but already halved into glucose and fructose. This is a hell of a mixture that has a bad effect on the metabolism.
Invert sugar is so harmful that Americans even thought at one time to replace it with our native sucrose. Do you get it? They didn't even just want to give up the syrup, but at least replace it with sugar.
Most often, this syrup enters the body with sweet soda. They say that invert syrup is usually not added to our sweet soda.
So, what am I talking about... Oh yeah, about uric acid. Overweight people are worst tolerated by an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood. Therefore, for the prevention of gout, they are advised to reduce calories due to sugar and fat, try to add more vegetables and fruits, and partially replace meat and fish with low-fat dairy products. They do not refuse cereals and bread, because they are whole grain products necessary for life.
