The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in mainland China is 13.3%, affecting about 177 million people, while the overall incidence of gout is as high as 1.1%, affecting about 14.66 million people.
Through the above data, it can be shown that 6 percent of patients with hyperuricemia and gout in mainland China are 18~35 years old, and young people are no longer the exclusive disease of middle-aged and elderly people, and many young people are gradually suffering from gout, which needs to be paid great attention to.
Especially for people who usually like to eat high-purine foods such as seafood, if they do not develop good diet and living Xi, it is likely to lead to complications.
Is the high incidence of gout in mainland China related to soy products?
Are soy products the "murderer" of gout and hyperuricemia?
Soybeans, as a medium-purine food, contain 50~150 mg of purine substances per 100 grams of food, which is slightly higher than lean meat and fish.
After processing, the amount of purines in soy products such as tofu, soy milk and dried tofu will be reduced by dilution, and the purine content will be greatly reduced.
Tofu is a food with high purine content, and eating a large amount of tofu for a long time is easy to cause abnormal purine metabolism in the body, and even increase the uric acid value in the blood and urine, resulting in purine deposition in the joints and pain in the facet joints of the limbs. Once gout appears, it needs to be treated with painkillers in time, and once gout attacks, it can be painful.
A 2015 study conducted by the National University of Singapore found that eating soybeans and other soy products not only does not cause gout, but also reduces the risk of gout. A 2012 study in Shanghai found that total dietary protein intake was not associated with hyperuricemia.
In addition, in the process of processing and storage, soy products will also lose a part of purines, so the effect of uric acid lowering has not been reduced. Therefore, beans are not contraindications for gout patients, and soy products, such as tofu brain, tofu, soy milk and other legumes are more beneficial to gout patients.
What patients with high uric acid really can't eat are the following 7 kinds of food, which are easy to increase the uric acid value and difficult to control, so I hope you can avoid it.

2、动物内脏 2752 mg/100g
Animal liver is a nutritious food, which contains iron and vitamin A, which can achieve the effect of eye protection and blood replenishment.

5、黄豆芽 500mg/100g
Soybean sprouts are a nutritious and delicious ingredient rich in protein and vitamins, although soybean sprouts are healthy and delicious, they can't change the fact that they are high-purine foods.

6、牛肉80mg/100g
Beef is a common red meat in life, and it is also a kind of meat with rich nutritional value, although there are many benefits of beef, but it contains high purine substances, and people with high uric acid try to eat less, otherwise it is easy to let the uric acid value exceed the standard and cause gout symptoms.
7、贝壳类海味 316mg/100g
Most shellfish seafood is rich in nutrients such as high protein, iodine, zinc, selenium, etc., and is a highly nutritious food, but tests have found that among various seafood and river fresh, shellfish seafood has the highest purine content, even higher than pork liver.
