Gout patients can eat honey in remission, but it is recommended that patients eat honey in small amounts and occasionally.
Gout is a crystalline arthritis caused by hyperuricemia in which uric acid crystals are deposited around the joints, and the pathophysiology is based on hyperuricemia, so it is necessary to limit the intake of purines in the daily diet, because excessive intake of purines will be metabolized into uric acid in the body, resulting in an increase in blood uric acid.
Although honey contains minerals and vitamins, purine content is not high, but honey fructose content is rich, and fructose not only promotes the generation of uric acid can also inhibit the excretion of uric acid, which makes the human blood uric acid levels rise, aggravate gout.
It is recommended that gout patients to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor standardized diagnosis and treatment.
