Can you eat honey for gout? What can't people with gout eat?

People with gout are very cautious about their diet, and their dietary requirements are also strict, because gout can only be eradicated after long-term treatment, and drugs cannot be eradicated.What can't people with gout eat? Let's take a look

One. Can you eat honey for gout

Gout patients are not suitable to eat honey, honey contains more (about 49%) fructose, a large amount of fructose into the cell rapid metabolism, promote the decomposition of adenine nucleotides to accelerate, release purines, purines are eventually metabolized into uric acid, and increase blood uric acid. In addition to not eating honey, gout patients have a diet of meat, animal offal, seafood, beans, etc., the purine content is generally high, it is not recommended to eat, alcohol, especially beer, will inhibit the excretion of uric acid, so it is recommended not to drink. In addition, spices such as chili pepper and ginger are easy to induce gout attacks, so it is best not to eat them. Because yogurt has lactic acid bacteria, it will be decomposed into uric acid, so it is not recommended to drink it.

Before you find out if honey is suitable for consumption. We need to know the cause of gout, the root cause of gout is caused by high uric acid for a long time, and it is related to diet and drugs that suppress uric acid. Dietary attention can lead to remission of the condition.

Among natural foods, only honey contains a large amount of fructose, which is almost half of its sugar content. Therefore, people with gout and hyperuricemia should not consume honey regularly or in large quantities.

Honey contains more (about 49%) fructose, which can increase uric acid production. Studies have found that both healthy people and gout patients, whether oral administration of a large amount of fructose, or intravenous infusion of a large amount of fructose, can cause an increase in blood uric acid, and the magnitude of blood uric acid increase in gout patients is more obvious.

However, it must be pointed out that in terms of affecting the blood uric acid content, only when the amount of fructose is consumed, its effect on promoting the increase of blood uric acid is more obvious, and a small intake of fructose, such as eating fruits, will not have such an effect. Therefore, people with gout and hyperuricemia should not consume honey regularly or in large quantities.

Although some studies have found that honey contains unsaturated fatty acids similar to fish oil, which may reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis associated with gout, this effect is far less obvious than increasing uric acid content, so it is better for people with gout not to eat honey. In addition to honey, some processed foods, such as candies, biscuits, snacks, desserts, instant coffee, beverages, etc., also contain more fructose, and people with gout or hyperuricemia should reduce their intake of such foods.

Because a regular diet is very important for gout relief, try not to consume or consume a small amount of honey during the gout recovery period. At the same time, pay attention to other dietary contraindications, which will be conducive to the early recovery of gout patients.
