Believe or not, there are different opinions and different results, so you will need to take some time with this, a particular matter. At the moment, I will tell you that cauliflower and gout have been linked in good and bad sides. So, let\u2019s see both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5cpZdlkE01k?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2>Does cauliflower cause gout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of people who believe that cauliflower caused their gout attack. A lot of doctors believe this same thing. There are no scientific explanations regarding the matter and there is no other evidence either. However, I was able to find one reason why some people may believe in this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two bases of purines in cauliflower. They are hypoxanthine and xanthine. The second one won\u2019t cause a uric acid increase and it is harmless. On the other hand, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/Hypoxanthine\">hypoxanthine which does cause the uric acid to spike<\/a>. It is present in cauliflower, so this can be the only explanation for why some people believe cauliflower caused their gout attack. These facts were confirmed by several studies, so their accuracy is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested article: <a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/foods-avoid-gout\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cThe ULTIMATE List Of 14 Foods To Avoid With Gout\u201d (Edit)\">The ULTIMATE List Of 14 Foods To Avoid With Gout<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes purely to purines, we can see that cauliflower is a medium rich with them. Once again, I was able to find so many different sources that the truth may be hidden for all of us. Some recommend that cauliflower is loaded with purines up to 51 mg per 100 grams. Others claim that it is much lower with purines, about 20 mg per 100 grams. Either way, <a href=\"http:\/\/healthyeating.sfgate.com\/vegetables-high-purines-10306.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cauliflower isn\u2019t too rich in purines<\/a>, so it won\u2019t cause some severe issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/goutcode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/endofgout300x250.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-392\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>The good sides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I will cover all the good or at least neutral sides when it comes to cauliflower and its link to gout. First, I discovered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa035700\">study conducted in 2004 and published in The New England Journal of Medicine<\/a> which proved that cauliflower doesn\u2019t have a side effect on gout. It won\u2019t increase the uric acid levels and it is free to consume as often as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Is cauliflower bad for gout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I went one step further and I discovered additional studies that proved the same claim. Basically, cauliflower is irrelevant to gout and it won\u2019t make it worse nor better of that matter. The main explanation is in the ingredients. Although cauliflower may contain some elements which will cause a gout attack, they are present in low amounts, so they are unable to spike the uric acid levels nor to do any other harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cauliflower.jpg\" alt=\"cauliflower\" class=\"wp-image-695\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Other facts you will want to know is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/benefits-of-cauliflower\">cauliflower is low in calories and fats<\/a>. It is a healthy vegetable after all, which is frequently consumed, despite the fact most people don\u2019t like the taste. Precisely this can be considered as another advantage of cauliflower and the main reason why you should consume it frequently, especially if you want to have a healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What\u2019s the verdict regarding cauliflower and gout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a lot of research, I discovered that cauliflower isn\u2019t beneficial for us, gout sufferers. It won\u2019t decrease the levels of uric acid, it won\u2019t stop the attack nor do anything similar of that matter. However, as a part of a healthy diet, it is an important vegetable to consume. It has low-calorie count and it is healthy in general. You are free to consume it if you like it as often as possible, but <strong>try to avoid it during a gout attack. It still contains more purines than some other vegetables.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested article: <a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/spinach-and-gout\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cSpinach And Gout (Details About This Superfood)\u201d (Edit)\">Spinach And Gout (Details About This Superfood)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cauliflower and gout don\u2019t have a lot of things in common. Cauliflower won\u2019t affect gout, definitely and it won\u2019t be responsible for an attack. On the other side, it won\u2019t stop a gout attack either and it won\u2019t decrease the uric acid level. I will leave you with your own decision. If you have something more you want to ask or know, be free to do so by leaving me a comment. I promise I will answer as soon as can. Till then, don\u2019t be afraid of cauliflower. It is free to consume and it is another, healthy vegetable after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested articles:<br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/cucumber-and-gout\/\">Cucumber And Gout \u2013 Are Cucumbers Good For Gout?<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/kale-and-gout\/\">Kale and Gout \u2013 Is Kale Good For Gout?<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/carrots-and-gout\/\">Carrots And Gout \u2013 Are Carrots Good For Gout?<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/cabbage-and-gout\/\">Cabbage And Gout \u2013 3 Ways That Cabbage Can Help Us<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/tomatoes-and-gout\/\">Tomatoes And Gout \u2013 Are Tomatoes Bad For Gout?<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/goutpatients.com\/broccoli-and-gout\/\">Broccoli And Gout (Is Broccoli Bad For Gout?)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all foods, fruits, and vegetables I have defined and linked with gout over the years, cauliflower is the most complicated to define.
