Answer 1

This is part of an artical in wkipedia:
Sources of uric acid

In many instances, people have a high incidence of uric acid for hereditary reasons.


Diet may also be a factor.

Purines are found in high amounts in animal food products, especially internal organs.[23]

Examples of high purine sources include: sweetbreads, anchovies, sardines, liver, beef kidneys, brains, meat extracts (e.g Oxo, Bovril), herring, mackerel, scallops, game meats, and gravy.

A moderate amount of purine is also contained in beef, pork, poultry, fish and seafood, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, green peas, lentils, dried peas, beans, oatmeal, wheat bran and wheat germ.[24]

Moderate intake of purine-containing food is not associated with an increased risk of gout.[25]


Serum uric acid can be elevated due to high fructose intake, reduced excretion by the kidneys, and or high intake of dietary purine.

Fructose can be found in processed foods and soda beverages - in some countries, in the form of high fructose corn syrup.

[edit] Causes of low uric acid

Aside from avoidance of purine foods, both accumulated copper and low vitamin B2 can exacerbate low uric acid levels, which in turn leads to myelin degeneration seen in Multiple Sclerosis.[26]
