Uric Acid Drives Hidden Systemic Inflammation
- Uric acid is more than gout; it quietly drives systemic inflammation for years.
- Dr. Stephen Cabral links high uric acid to heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and vascular risks beyond joint pain.
Purines And Sources That Raise Uric Acid
- Uric acid forms when the body breaks down purines from foods, alcohol, fructose, and cellular turnover.
- Dr. Stephen Cabral names high-purine foods like sardines, mackerel, anchovies, organ meats, venison, and some shellfish as common sources.
Avoid Fructose And Alcohol To Lower Uric Acid
- Reduce fructose and alcohol intake to lower uric acid production and burden.
