Bamboo shoots are not high in purine. Bamboo shoots are a medium purine food among the three types of purine foods (low purine foods) (containing 25 to 150 mg of purine per 100 grams of food).
“Low-purine foods can be eaten with confidence, medium-purine foods should be eaten in limited amounts, and high-purine foods should be banned.” This is only a dietary principle for gout patients, and normal people with good health can completely ignore it.
Purine is a substance that exists in the body, mainly in the form of purine nucleotides. It plays a very important role in energy supply, metabolic regulation and coenzyme composition.
Purine is an organic compound, colorless crystal. Purine is oxidized in the human body and turns into uric acid. Excessive uric acid in the human body can cause gout. Seafood and animal meat have relatively high purine content. Therefore, in addition to taking drug treatment (drugs for gout are generally harmful to the kidneys), it is more important for patients with gout to pay attention to dietary taboos.
