The blood uric acid exceeds the standard at the age of 16, and at a young age you get gout, a “rich disease of the elderly”, how did you get it? In recent years, there are more and more teenage patients with high uric acid, the cause of the disease, are the drinks as water to drink the trouble. The 16-year-old boy got gout. 16-year-old Man was found to have blood uric acid as high as 620 micromol/l (the standard value is 420 micromol/l) in a recent physical examination, which may develop into gout if it continues. The parents were puzzled, as their child does not drink alcohol, rarely eats out, and does not often eat seafood and other high purine foods at home. When the doctor asked about Ah Man’s drinking habits, the answer was that he rarely drank water and usually drank drinks when he was thirsty. This is the cause of the disease. Excess fructose will suffer from hyperuricemia More and more teenage patients are suffering from high uric acid, and recent studies have confirmed that the culprit is fructose, “Fructose is generally added to drinks, and fructose can add sweetness in addition to taste better than other sweeteners such as glucose. If more fructose is consumed than the body needs, it will be converted into fat, during which a by-product, uric acid, will be produced. In addition, fructose itself inhibits the excretion of uric acid by the kidneys.” The dual effect of fructose can lead to hyperuricemia in the body. Now many primary and secondary school students, so to speak, drinks do not leave their hands, to drink drinks instead of drinking water, such habits will certainly cause fructose intake over the limit, not only will get hyperuricemia, but also may cause blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators over the limit. Drinking fructose-rich beverages (such as sugary soda and orange juice) can increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood, and too much orange juice intake is also associated with the onset of gout. One study showed that women who consumed one and two or more servings of orange juice per day had a 41% and 142% increased risk of gout, respectively. Therefore, drinking a lot of juice or eating a lot of fructose-rich fruits (apples, citrus, etc.) is also likely to trigger gout. Fruit as far as possible to eat directly do not squeeze juice freshly squeezed juice can also have the problem of fructose overload, “squeezed into a cup of juice requires at least two or three oranges, many children can drink two cups of freshly squeezed juice in one gulp without problems, equivalent to the amount of fructose contained in the intake of five or six oranges.” Fruits try to eat directly, do not juice, plain water is the healthiest drink. Sweetened beverages, including various sodas, colas, fruit juices, etc., all contain too much fructose and should not be drunk.
