Can Cheerios cure gout?

Gout is a disease caused by high blood uric acid levels, resulting in the deposition of urate crystals around the joints. Cheerios, on the other hand, are a common fruit in life and although they contain many vitamins, they do not have the effect of treating gout disease. To treat gout, the following three things must be achieved. Firstly, it can control the acute attack of gouty arthritis and eliminate the clinical symptoms of acute redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by gout; secondly, it can make the patient’s blood uric acid fall and inhibit the production of uric acid or promote the excretion of uric acid; finally, it can prevent the formation of uric acid stones and reduce the damage caused by it. Cheerios cannot suppress the clinical symptoms of gouty arthritis during acute attacks, and there is no way to reduce the blood uric acid level, and there is no preventive effect on uric acid stones, thus Cheerios cannot treat gout. Some patients believe that the role of carrion in the treatment of gout, may be related to the following factors: 1, low purine: carrion itself is a low purine content food, the purine content per 100g of carrion is only 17mg, for the gout population, whether acute attacks or intermittent, eating carrion will not have a significant impact on the patient’s blood uric acid; 2, low fructose content: fructose intake After the body, metabolism can produce blood uric acid, causing an increase in blood uric acid. The fructose content of Cheerios is relatively low in the fruit, which will not have an excessive effect on the blood uric acid level, and patients may mistakenly believe that it has a hypoglycemic effect; 3, high vitamin C content: Cheerios contain high vitamin C, and vitamin C was thought to play a role in reducing blood uric acid. However, it has been proven that vitamin C is not able to reduce the blood uric acid of patients, mainly because the structure of vitamin C contains some unsaturated bonds that are easily oxidized. In the process of testing blood uric acid, this oxidation will interfere with the detection of blood uric acid, causing a false positive reduction in blood uric acid testing, mistakenly believing that Cheerios has the effect of lowering blood uric acid. After suffering from gout, attention should be paid to taking medication on time and in the right amount to avoid recurring symptoms. In addition, patients should drink a lot of water, it is recommended to drink more than 2000ml daily, while avoiding the intake of alcohol, sugary drinks and animal offal, seafood food.
