Rumor: Drinking more soda is good for your body and can regulate your body's acid-base balance.
Truth: None of the claims that the body's acid-base balance can be regulated by diet is scientific. The internal environment of a healthy human body is automatically maintained in the right pH range to provide a stable environment for people's physiological activities.
For example, the blood's pH is always constant at 7.35-7.45 and will not change because of drinking soda. Drastic changes in blood pH, on the other hand, are often due to major diseases, such as cancer.
Therefore, the argument that drinking soda changes the acid-base constitution is not true. Instead of obsessing about eating acid or alkalescent food, people should pay attention to food varieties and make your nutritional intake more balanced and comprehensive.
Rumor: People with urathritis can't eat tofu, meat, eggs, or they could have a relapse.
Truth: This is a common misconception. Most purines are already lost during the preparation of soy products, so their consumption does not increase the chance of a gout attack.
Considering that blood uric acid may rise briefly after a meal, it is generally recommended to control the intake of soy products, and to follow medical advice during an acute phase of gout.
In contrast, meat and eggs do not have a significant effect on blood uric acid compared to high purine foods such as animal offal and crustacean seafood. These foods are rich in protein, fat-soluble vitamins and other essential nutrients, and long-term deficiencies of these nutrients can lead to nutritional imbalances, which in turn can reduce the ability to metabolize purines, leading to an increase in blood uric acid.
