Chinese and foreign medical experts have found that "drinking polyphenol coffee can effectively prevent the recurrence of gout", and it is very safe.
The preventive and therapeutic effect of polyphenolic coffee on gout is mainly achieved through the following three aspects:
1. Anti-nutrition: polyphenolic coffee is easy to combine with protein and purine in food, reducing the absorption of exogenous purine.
2. Antioxidation: polyphenolic coffee can protect cells from oxidation and destruction of acidic substances and reduce the conversion of endogenous purines to uric acid.
3. Chelating with metal ions: multiple ortho hydroxyl groups in polyphenol coffee can chelate with excess sodium ions in the body to avoid or reduce the combination of sodium ions and uric acid to form sodium urate crystals, thus reducing or stopping the recurrence of gout.
