"Nutritionist, I have gout. I can't eat soy products such as tofu, dried bean curd, bean bag, and soy milk, right?" The word seems to be like the fear of a mouse seeing a cat, but are soy products really the enemy of gout patients?
Schematic／
Wu Jingyi, a nutritionist at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Nutritional Therapy Department, pointed out that in the past, people were taught that soy products are taboo for gout patients.
Including a study in Japan in 1998 and a collection of 5 related studies in the Asian Nutrition-related Journal in 2011, all have similar findings. After consuming soy products, blood uric acid will increase slightly, but it is not associated with gout attacks. related. Tofu is a source of high-quality protein for gout sufferers.
In addition, according to the results of a survey on changes in Taiwan's national nutrition and health status, the frequency of soy product intake is negatively correlated with uric acid, and mushrooms and mushrooms, which are often listed as taboo foods by gout patients, are also found in this analysis. It is also negatively correlated with the concentration of uric acid. In the end, the author also suggested that Chinese people should reduce the intake of internal organs, but increase the intake of vegetables and fruits (carrots, mushrooms), soy products, seaweed and other foods to avoid the increase in the concentration of uric acid.
Wu Jingyi mentioned that soy products are another key point that is often listed as tabooIt is because the general public thinks that "soy products = high-purine food", but in 2014, a study used scientific methods to analyze the content of purine in food (the following are the amount of purine contained in every 100 grams of food), and the analysis results Soy milk was found to be 22 mg, tofu 20 mg, edamame 47.9 mg, fresh shiitake mushrooms 24.4 mg, pork liver 284.8 mg, pork kidney 195 mg, and pork tenderloin 119.7 mg.
Actually, the numbers are useless to the general public, but the important thing is, how much purine can a patient with hyperuricemia or gout eat every day? . Therefore, for patients with hyperuricemia, the less purine contained in the food, the better.
According to the 2016 Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Gout and Hyperuricemia in Taiwan, it is impossible to reduce the blood uric acid value to 6.0 mg/dL. Therefore, if the blood uric acid value is to be lowered, it may be necessary to take uric acid-lowering drugs according to the doctor's advice. Cooperate with low-purine diet control.
