Plasma uric acid?

Question

We find contradictions in reading websides about white bread and whole grain bread for plasma uric acid. Please give me your opinion: white bread or whole grain bread is less harmful ?

Answer 1

The common question asked by people who haven’t grasped what gout is really about: is,: what foods are high in uric acid?

The real question should be about purines and not uric acid, as the body metabolises purines to produce the acid which may lead to gout disease. Some foods high in purines include:

Liver
Fish
Brewer’s yeast
Spleen
Kidney
Mushrooms
Soya, etc


So if someone asks you about gout, remember it’s not what foods are high in uric acid! But their purine content that is important. Avoiding foods high in this compound is often part of an overall strategy to combat or alleviate the symptoms of gout.


In the 1990s, the low-fat/no-fat craze had people nationwide scrambling to trim the excess fat. Then came the low-carb/no-carb craze in the early 2000s. Now, whole-grain foods could very well be the hot new nutritional must-have. That is, if people begin to really follow the government's latest dietary guidelines, published every 5 years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).


The new recommendations are pushing for an increase in whole-grain consumption - now, at least half of our grain intake should come from whole grains, especially for kids and teens. That certainly sounds like the healthy way to go. But what, exactly, are whole grains, in what foods can you find them, and why should they be an important part of your family's diet?


The Gab Behind Whole Grains
The grain group of the Food Guide Pyramid (being revised soon to reflect the new recommendations) has taken a lot of heat in recent years. Why? Because many medical experts think excess consumption of refined carbohydrates (refined sugars and refined grains like white rice and white flour, found in many pastas and breads) are one reason behind the dramatic rise of obesity in the United States.

But how could any one type of food cause such a big problem? Of course, not exercising and eating larger portions of any foods than we need take the lion's share of blame for the obesity epidemic. But refined carbohydrates tend to be significant contributors to our excess calories. Why? Because they're easy to get our hands on, come in large portions, and aren't too filling. It's not that they cause us to gain weight, it's more that we tend to eat more of them than we need. And the truly sugary foods like colas and candy provide no required nutrients, so we really don't need to eat them at all.


So why are whole grains so important? Unlike other more refined grains, whole grains (like brown rice, oatmeal, and whole-grain breads and cereals) are:


a) broken down more slowly in the body. Whole grains contain all three parts of the grain (the bran, germ, and endosperm), whereas refined grains are mainly just the endosperm - and that means more for your body to break down. More to break down means the breakdown is slower, the carbohydrates enter the body slower, and it's easier for your body to regulate them.

b) high in fiber. Not just for the senior-citizen crowd, foods that are good sources of fiber are beneficial because they're filling and, therefore, discourage overeating. Plus, when combined with adequate fluid, they help move food through the digestive system and protect against gut cancers and constipation.


c) packed with other vitamins and minerals. In addition to fiber, whole grains contain more essential fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc than their processed equivalents.

And if that's not enough, studies indicate that eating whole grains reduces your long-term risk of cancer and heart diseases.

Ingredients that are not whole grain include wheat flour, enriched flour, and degerminated cornmeal.

Be wary of misleading claims on packages. Don't be duped by things that look or sound like whole grain but really aren't. For example, "multi-grain" isn't whole grain. And just because a food is brown doesn't mean it's made out of whole grains - it may just be dyed.



Just because something is whole grain doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy. In general, try to choose grains without added sugar or fat. Of course, it's OK to have foods like cookies and cake once in a while, but the majority of your grains should come from foods like bread, oatmeal, pasta, rice, and other foods without the added sugar or fat.
