Show Notes:
Uric acid is something most people only think about in terms of gout, but it has profound impacts on heart disease, obesity, and other conditions
Most doctors recommend lowering alcohol and meat consumption to lower uric acid levels, but fructose is the primary driver of elevated uric acid
The constant stream of fructose in the Standard American Diet has led to widespread obesity and heart disease, and becoming aware of and lowering fructose consumption can dramatically reduce the risk of developing obesity
Overconsuming sodium can contribute to obesity as it contributes to the storage pathways that our bodies built for survival
Tart cherries are a "hero food" for uric acid, and are a great food to incorporate regularly
The "LUV” diet" can be interpreted for a variety of lifestyles like flexitarian or vegan
The love diet welcomes high fiber foods, cruciferous vegetables, and foods high in flavinoids
All animal based proteins and plant foods have purines, but they're not at dangerous levels in vegetables, some animal foods should be eaten in moderation
