It comes from an individual’s ability to break down the by products that cause the actual gout not any particular foods or liquids. You dont treat yo the symptoms you treat the cause which is very poor bacteria counts in your gut that get rid of most of the dangerous stuff our bodies take in .you're right about fructose, but it comes from red meat and if you're eating meat all the time, wouldn't it be gout waiting to happen?
Gout - Symptoms and causes
www.mayoclinic.orgCauses
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines — substances that are found naturally in your body.
Purines are also found in certain foods, including red meat and organ meats, such as liver. Purine-rich seafood includes anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout and tuna. Alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose) promote higher levels of uric acid.
Risk factors
You're more likely to develop gout if you have high levels of uric acid in your body. Factors that increase the uric acid level in your body include:
- Diet. Eating a diet rich in red meat and shellfish and drinking beverages sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose) increase levels of uric acid, which increase your risk of gout. Alcohol consumption, especially of beer, also increases the risk of gout.
- Weight. If you're overweight, your body produces more uric acid and your kidneys have a more difficult time eliminating uric acid.
- Medical conditions. Certain diseases and conditions increase your risk of gout. These include untreated high blood pressure and chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney diseases.
- Certain medications. Low-dose aspirin and some medications used to control hypertension — including thiazide diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and beta blockers — also can increase uric acid levels. So can the use of anti-rejection drugs prescribed for people who have undergone an organ transplant.
- Family history of gout. If other members of your family have had gout, you're more likely to develop the disease.
- Age and sex. Gout occurs more often in men, primarily because women tend to have lower uric acid levels. After menopause, however, women's uric acid levels approach those of men. Men are also more likely to develop gout earlier — usually between the ages of 30 and 50 — whereas women generally develop signs and symptoms after menopause.
- Recent surgery or trauma. Experiencing recent surgery or trauma can sometimes trigger a gout attack. In some people, receiving a vaccination can trigger a gout flare.
Gut health is usually the marker how healthy someone is ,everyone should take a PH level test and see if they are at 7.0/7.5 oxygen/ acidic levels . This tells you how actually clean your blood is and risk of getting abnormal things bc many diseases and cancers cannot live in clean systems.
The problem is stopping gout not treating it , healthy gut goes way beyond pills and medications and changing diet ,bacteria that kills off harmful by products from whatever is the key that’s literally what regulates the body’s health . We break down food’s different we all have different amounts of good bacteria,if you focus on the causes not the symptoms you get rid of anything .
You literally need gut bacteria to remove uric acid ,so gout shouldn’t actually be a problem in the first place ,it’s what your body doesn’t have enough of and it’s very easy to put good bacteria in the body instead of nightmare to try and fix gout through any other means .
