Hi there,
does anyone know why broccoli triggers
gout? If you look at some diets, they
actually call it a cure! But it just
brings it on! I was hoping someone could
tell me why. :? :!:

How much you have to eat broccoli to
trigger gout attacks? What else you ate
with it?
Broccoli is higher than most vegetables in
uric acid (ua) content. But as compared
with meat and seafood, it's rather small.
I haven't seen a study that shows broccoli
can actually triggers gout. Uric acid
(ua) content of some foods per 100 grams
are: broccoli-80 mg; tuna-260, sardines in
oil-480; liver (beef)-550; beef-130;
chicken-120, pork-140; apple-15,
banana-60, broccoli-80, spinach-60,
kale-50, asparagus-25, cabbage 22,
potato-16, lettuce-13, tomato-11, cherry
(sweet)-7, bread-14; beer-8~13.
There are other food and drink that
contains no ua but can raise the blood ua
level and trigger gout, e.G., alcohol,
fructose, acidic foods and drinks, etc.

Hi! Where did you get the uric acid
content figures? My boyfriend has
elevated uric acid and i'd like to help
him and get him this info. Thanks for
your help!
