Most fresh fruits are alkaline foods, and fruits contain a lot of potassium and vitamin C, which makes many people think that eating more fruits is good for gout. But the latest research shows that if you eat a lot of fruit rich in fructose, you will increase the incidence of gout. Because fructose can directly promote the increase of uric acid synthesis in human body, eating a large amount of these fruits can increase the insulin level in the body, lead to insulin resistance, and thus indirectly reduce uric acid excretion, and this effect is more significant in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Extended data:
Whether a food is acidic or alkaline cannot be identified by human taste alone. We can't simply think that sour taste is acidic food and astringent taste is alkaline food, so it is easy for us to regard some sour fruits such as lemon, orange and apple as acidic food, but they are actually alkaline. If you want to know whether food is acidic or alkaline, you can't judge it by chemical pH test paper, taste or life experience. The pH of food depends on the kind and content of minerals contained in food.
