In daily life, there is a widespread saying that you can't eat fruits with high uric acid, which makes many people shy away from delicious fruits, fearing that the sugar and other ingredients in fruits may exacerbate the disease. However, is there really a scientific basis for this concern? With the deepening of medical research, modern nutrition has debunked the truth of this myth for us. In fact, the right choice and moderate intake of certain fruits are not only harmless in controlling uric acid levels, but may actually bring unexpected health benefits. 
Individuals with high uric acid often face numerous dietary restrictions, especially when it comes to fruit intake, and there are a lot of misconceptions and fears. Conventional wisdom holds that people with hyperuricemia should avoid all fruits based on concerns that they may promote an increase in uric acid levels. However, modern medical research offers a more nuanced and differentiated perspective. The effect of fruit on uric acid levels First of all, uric acid is a waste product produced by the body's metabolism of purines and is mainly excreted through the kidneys. Whereas, purines are mainly found in food, especially meat and certain seafood. In contrast, most fruits have lower purine levels and do not directly lead to a significant increase in uric acid levels. Misconception to correct the misconception that all fruits can cause uric acid elevations: in fact, most fruits are friendly to uric acid control due to their low-purine properties. For example, lemons, cherries, and strawberries are not only low in purines, but also rich in vitamin C, which helps to reduce uric acid levels. Concern that fructose in fruits is causing elevated uric acid: While it is true that excess fructose may promote uric acid production, moderate intake is safe for most people. The focus is on controlling your intake, not avoiding it altogether. Suggested method of dispersing intake: Spreading fruit over the course of the day, rather than consuming large amounts at once, can help avoid short-term spikes in blood sugar and uric acid. Choose low-purine fruits: Prefer those that are low in purines and rich in vitamin C, such as citrus, apples, pears, etc., which can help lower uric acid levels. Fruit-to-meal pairing: Eating fruit as an inter-meal snack can reduce your intake of high-purine foods while increasing satiety and avoiding overeating. 
High uric acid doesn't mean you have to stay away from fruit altogether. In fact, a sensible choice and intake of fruits is key to maintaining healthy uric acid levels. It is important to understand which fruits are suitable for people with high uric acid and how to avoid the wrong way to eat them so that they can effectively control their uric acid levels. Myth 1: All fruits cause an increase in uric acidMany people believe that fructose in fruits can cause uric acid levels to rise, so they avoid fruit altogether. In fact, moderate intake of fruits with low fructose content can be beneficial for people with high uric acid. For example, lemons and cherries are not only lower in fructose, but studies have shown that they can help lower blood uric acid levels. Myth 2: Fruit intake is unrestrictedAlthough some fruits help control uric acid, excessive intake of any fruit can be counterproductive, as excessive fructose intake increases uric acid production. It is recommended to keep your daily fruit intake at around 200 grams, and choose those fruits that are low in fructose and rich in vitamin C, such as kiwifruit, strawberries and citrus, which not only help control uric acid levels, but also replenish the nutrients your body needs. Practice Strategy 1Choose low-fructose fruitsPrioritize low-fructose and antioxidant-rich fruits, such as cherries, lemons, and grapes. These fruits help lower blood uric acid levels and reduce inflammation. 2.Control your intake, even fruits that are good for your health, and eat them in moderation. It is recommended that the daily intake of fruit should not exceed 200 grams to avoid excessive fructose intake leading to an increase in uric acid levels. 3.Increasing dietary fiber intake in combination with dietary fiber can help lower blood uric acid levels. When consuming fruits, do not neglect the intake of vegetables and whole grains, which are rich in dietary fiber and help improve the excretion of uric acid. ConclusionFor people with high uric acid, reasonable choice of fruits and control of intake are the key. By intelligently choosing fruits that are low in fructose and rich in vitamin C, you can not only avoid the risk of elevated uric acid, but also enjoy the health benefits that fruits bring. Remember, a balanced diet and moderate intake are the cornerstones of controlling uric acid levels. When faced with high uric acid levels, many patients are often misled into believing that they need to stay away from fruit altogether. However, this view ignores the critical role of fruit in maintaining a healthy dietary balance. Through scientific analysis, we can find that the rational choice and consumption of fruits not only does not exacerbate the problem of uric acid, but helps to promote its excretion. Misconception correction First, we need to correct a common misconception: all fruits cause uric acid to rise. In fact, fructose in fruits has a limited effect on uric acid levels when consumed in moderation. The key is to choose fruits with low fructose content and control your overall fructose intake. List of recommended fruits Lemons and other citrus fruits: they are rich in vitamin C, which helps to reduce blood uric acid levels and promote uric acid excretion. Cherries: Studies have shown that cherries are effective in reducing blood uric acid levels and the risk of gout attacks. Blackberries, strawberries and other berries: These fruits are rich in antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and lower uric acid levels. 
Mistakes to avoidExcessive intake of high fructose fruits: such as grapes, pineapples, pomegranates, etc., although these fruits are high in nutritional value, they are high in fructose and should be eaten in moderation. Fruit juice substitution for whole fruits: Fruit juices tend to strip the fruit of the fiber, and at the same time, the intake of fructose is high, which is not conducive to uric acid control. Practical recommendations for daily fructose intake control: The overall fructose intake is recommended to be no more than 15 grams, which is equivalent to about two servings of fruit. Eat a balanced diet: Fruit intake should be a balanced diet along with vegetables, whole grains, low-fat meats, and other foods. Monitor your uric acid levels: Check your uric acid levels regularly and adjust your fruit intake to suit your needs.
