Can gout patients eat pork?

Gout patients can eat pork properly, but should not eat too much.

Gout is caused by the increase in blood uric acid levels in the body, resulting in uric acid crystal deposition in the joints. The purine content in pork is not very high. After eating pork properly, the serum uric acid level will not increase significantly, and it will not affect the control of the disease. Pork is rich in protein, amino acids and various trace elements, which can supplement the nutrients required by the body.

Note that patients should not eat too much pork, which has a high fat content, to prevent obesity.
