As the end of the year approaches, as the "top fruit stream", it has steadily become the C-position responsible for Chinese New Year fruits. However, I never expected that eating too much sugar oranges may also induce gout attacks. Fructose is a helper in gout attacks.

On the one hand, fructose is metabolized by the liver and consumes a large amount of adenine nucleoside triphosphate, which leads to increased purine release and increased uric acid production in the body.

On the other hand, the acidic metabolites of fructose in the body will reduce the solubility of uric acid in urine, and reduce the ability of kidneys to excrete uric acid, thus reducing uric acid excretion in the body. The sugar orange is small in size and tastes good, so it is easy to eat too much unconsciously. If you don't pay attention, this "sweetness" will cause a burden and even induce an acute attack of gout.

Some gout patients don't have the habit of drinking alcohol and eating seafood, but a seemingly inconspicuous preference is the main reason why they suffer from gout-they don't like to drink plain water, and juice almost never leaves their mouths.

All kinds of colas, fruit juices, functional drinks, etc. on the market are rich in fructose, although the purine content is extremely low. The decomposition process of fructose in the body will directly produce uric acid, which is equal to increasing the source of endogenous uric acid.

Compared with sucrose, glucose, etc., fructose can also inhibit the excretion of uric acid by the kidney. The addition of the two can lead to the doubling of uric acid concentration in the body.
