Can people with gout drink milk?
Of course you can drink milk.
1. Milk is a high quality protein without purines: first of all, milk has no cell structure and nucleus, no nucleic acid, so there are no purines. Secondly, milk is a high-protein food. As you know, most nutrient-rich foods such as meat and fish are both high purine and high protein diets. Gout patients should be prohibited from eating a high purine diet, such as limiting high purine, which will inevitably limit high protein and lead to malnutrition. Gout patients in remission eat protein should be properly liberalized (mainly plant protein and milk).
2. Milk is rich in trace elements, vitamins and calcium, which contribute to good health and osteoporosis.
3, Milk contains casein and whey protein, which can increase uric acid excretion and reduce blood uric acid.
However, it is important to note that: it is best not to drink milk for people with milk allergy and kidney disease; you should not drink too much milk, usually about 500 ml per day; adults with diarrhea are advised to drink milk in small quantities – due to the lack of lactase in the intestine; there are good and bad milk, do not drink milk containing melamine and empty milk powder.
Which dairy products are better for gout sufferers?
Skim milk should be chosen over whole milk and yogurt. Why? There are two reasons.
1. Skim milk has less than 0.5% fat, which is 1/7 of regular milk (whole milk has 3% fat). Most gout patients are obese and have hyperlipidemia, so they should lose weight and eat less fat, because fat reduces uric acid excretion.
2. In Singapore, there is a study: some skim milk (containing glycopeptides and G600) has anti-inflammatory effects and reduces gout recurrence. Of course if you buy whole milk, it is relatively simple to convert it to skim milk by mixing the milk powder and putting it on the fire and boiling it with a layer of fat on top to remove it.
Skim milk also has some disadvantages: the taste is not good, skim milk has no taste, the taste comes from fat; most vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin D are fat soluble, in addition to fat at the same time, the fat soluble vitamins are also removed, affecting the absorption of calcium.
Sour milk is actually a good health drink, compared to regular milk, the advantages are: the fermentation process of lactic acid bacteria can produce B vitamins necessary for human nutrition; easier to digest and absorb, calcium and phosphorus absorption rate is increased; adults do not cause bloating and diarrhea people, because lactose is fermented by lactobacilli into lactic acid.
But gout is not suitable for drinking yogurt for two main reasons.
1. The fat content is relatively high, 3% to 5%, and the fatty acids can be increased by 2 times compared to raw milk.
2. There are many fermenting bacteria, single-celled organisms containing nucleic acid (containing purine) and protein, and more uric acid production.
Can I eat cheese?
The nutritional value of cheese is higher, because each kilogram of cheese is made from 10 kg of concentrated milk, rich in protein, calcium, fat, phosphorus and vitamins, etc., but gout patients should eat less.
1. Cheese is a fermented milk product, similar to sour milk, with a higher concentration of lactic acid bacteria than yogurt, high purine content and more uric acid production.
2, the fat content is high, especially contains more trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids take several weeks to metabolize in the body (natural fats in general are 1 week), which makes people easily obese and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Can I eat ice cream?
Gout patients should eat less ice cream. Ice cream is made from dairy products, egg products, sweeteners, flavoring agents, stabilizers and food coloring, and is processed by freezing, containing large amounts of sugar (lactose, fructose and sucrose) and fat, which increases body weight and affects uric acid excretion.
