4 foods that cause high uric acid levels

1. Drinks and fruit juices

Drinks high in fructose and sugar can rapidly increase uric acid formation and thus worsen gout by triggering certain cellular processes in the body.

2. Bread and rice

Refined carbohydrates such as white bread, pastries, white rice, sugar, cookies, etc., should be eliminated during gout. These foods have low nutritional value, leading to an increase in uric acid in the body.

3. Fish and seafood

Some types of seafood are high in purines. Therefore, these should be avoided in the diet of people with gout. Crab, shrimp, oysters... are foods that can worsen gout.

4. Energy drinks

Regular table sugar is half fructose, which breaks down into uric acid. Therefore, any food or drink with a high sugar content can trigger severe gout.
