Gout can eat honey, but not in excess, fructose will indirectly cause elevated uric acid.
Gout is due to excessive exogenous intake, or purine metabolism disorder in the body, resulting in elevated uric acid in the blood, urate crystals deposited in the joints and kidneys and other parts of the body causing gout.
Research has found that honey contains a large amount of fructose, fructose can directly or indirectly lead to the body’s uric acid elevation, reduced excretion. Current research confirms that blood uric acid levels increase with the increase in fructose intake, so gout patients should reduce the intake of high fructose-containing foods such as honey, etc. In addition, patients also need to eat low purine foods, drink more water to increase uric acid excretion.
It is recommended that gout patients seek timely medical attention, specific dietary advice can be consulted with a medical professional.
