- raverbashing 3y ago> Uric acid is a normal body waste product. It forms when chemicals called purines break down. Purines are a natural substance found in the body. They are also found in many foods, such as liver, shellfish, and alcohol. They can also be formed in the body when DNA is broken down. https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?contenttypeid=167&contentid=uric_acid_blood https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?con... "A quick search" determines that the main source of uric acid are dietary sources and that there are factors that might make its clearance slower. Fructose, if it's a significant factor, is down there in the list of things that should be checked
- DoreenMichele 3y agoEh, daddy had gout. I have some other acid-related condition and stopped drinking orange juice for a time because it was making my big toe hurt. I'm not that invested in the topic, but I still think leaping to the conclusion that fructose suggests another commenter just has a crappy diet is borderline "personal attack" and also simply unfounded. But, you know, whatevs.
