WHAT IS URIC ACID DISEASE?

Q – What is uric acid?
A – Uric acid measurement determines how much uric acid is present in your blood. It’s a chemical produced when your body breaks down foods that contain organic compounds called purines.

Q – Why does uric acid cause joint pain?
A – Because these uric acid crystals puncture  the  lysosomes  of the white blood cells that congregate in the joints, thus releasing the most powerful digestive juice in the entire body, which literally destroy and irritate the joints.

Q – What other problem does elevated uric acid cause?
A – The newest discovery is that high uric acid actually raises blood pressure in people already at risk of hypertension.

Q – What other dangers does uric acid alert us to?
A – Epidemiologic research reveals that a high blood uric acid is associated with a statistically significant increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, stroke, congestive heart failure or diabetes.

Q – Why doesn’t my doctor order uric acid on my annual blood tests?
A – Most physicians are not aware of the important of uric acid concentration.

Q – What is the ideal range for uric acid?
A – Ideally your uric acid should not be more than 4.5.

Q – So what foods raise uric acid in your blood?
A – Foods that raise uric acid are animal protein, shell fish, alcohol, carbonated soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, sugar, high glycemic fruits.

Q – I understand about sugar but what about fructose?
A – The high fructose fruits are bananas, apples, dates, pears, grapes, mango, persimmon, cherries, apricot, figs, melon, cantaloupe, pineapple, and watermelon.

Q – Are there any safe sugars?
A – Yes! The safe sugars are stevia, xylitol and truvia.

Q – Frankly I am a sugarholic…how can I ever eliminate sugar!!!
A – Sugar is a POISON.  If you are a sugarholic (I used to be many years ago) I want you to know a little-known fact: that sugar acts like a drug in that the more we eat it the more we crave it.  And here’s the good news: if you can go one whole week without eating any sugar whatsoever, you will no longer crave it.  But remember, you must read the labels and check for all forms of sugar, including corn syrup, fructose, sucrose, plus artificial sweeteners. You will be amazed at your increased energy, weight loss without dieting, elimination of pain, and literally dozens of health advantages.

Q – Before leaving this subject, are there any other causes of elevated uric acid?
A – Yes…purines will also raise uric acid.

Q – So what are purines?
A – Purine foods are herring, meat, poultry, gravy, broth, organ meats, shell fish, mushrooms, rhubarb, and anchovies. In conclusion, you can lower your uric acid in only 3 months by eliminating sugar, fructose fruits, and purines.  It is also well documented that cherry juice will lower uric acid.
