Sausages are not safe for people with high uric acid.

Sausage is a type of food made from meat (usually pork) by stuffing (stuffing meat into a skin) combined with other ingredients such as salt, spices, additives, etc. This is also one of the most popular dishes because of its convenience, quick preparation and affordable price.

According to Eat This Not That, the habit of regularly consuming sausages can have a negative impact on your health. In fact, a study published in the scientific journal Nature by the University of Michigan showed that eating just one sausage can take away 36 minutes of your life, even if you are following a healthy lifestyle.

This study also shows that cooking processed meat at high temperatures such as grilling, frying... can increase the risk of cancer by stimulating the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These dangerous chemicals are linked to breast, pancreatic, colon and many other cancers.

In particular, sausages are in the group of foods that are unsafe for people with high uric acid in the blood. According to research, the amount of purine in 100g of sausage ranges from 150 to 200mg depending on the ingredients (chicken, beef, pork...).
