The agonizing Pain in your big toe, wrists, finger joints, elbows, ankles, knees, and helix of ear could be because of your problematic food choices and lifestyle!
Quality content yet again! love love love! 🥰 Thank you. I have a question coz we have a common notion here in my country that beans such as mung beans, red and white kidney beans etc. cause gout. Is it true?
No! Reeza beans and legumes do not cause gout. Legumes, lentils are moderate to low in purine and their purine content depends on how much the portion of it is consumed. Meaning a typical 150g serving of kidney beans has 24mg purine. Safe in moderation for gout patients. So, they don't play a direct role in gout causation unless you consume large amounts of it daily (which we know no one does). Yes, patients with gout should be on a lookout for moderation and balance.
Wow, that's eye-opening to me coz doctors are the one perpetuating this advice! They say that beans have high uric acid content, and some people experience gout after eating beans. So the cause are not beans then. Thank you for your reply, always complete with info. I appreciate it!
Maham, I read through this article, and while high purine foods & high fructose foods can overburden the kidneys, I still don't think that really explains the rise in gout especially around men & postmenopausal women.
To me, other than the effects of stress, especially the stress of survival which damage the kidneys damaging the uric acid cycle & regulation, one really damaging ever-present poison is lead toxicity.
There is a lot of lead exposure if you work in an industrial field, and it is men who typically work these jobs.
For women, postmenopausal, they've already been whipped by being "career women" & "boss babes", and wear tons of makeup & stuff laced with lead. They are also less likely than men to eat calcium & zinc rich foods like sardines, red meat etc increasing lead accumulation.
Prior to this era, there are probably some indigenous cultures that ate adequate 'high purine' proteins and fruit (e.g. Maasai) and didn't have gout.
