@LegalFockery @SBakerMD A balanced diet is the most healthy for a human. Too much meat causes gout. https://t.co/JSHxlwm1gF

Wer Gicht in der Familie hat, sollte von Veganismus und striktem Vegetariertum vielleicht absehen. Der Konsum von Milchprodukten senkt das Risiko, daß der Purinstoffwechsel aus dem Lot gerät. ( https://t.co/r2aud8QcZZ | https://t.co/y7EWZN6eKs )

Findings on meat/animal foods are also consistent with a previous paper from the HPFS showing increased risk with meat/fish. Null results for meat substitutes (often based on legumes) are also consistent with results for purine-rich vegetables in HPFS https://t.co/DCpgX4cxwa https://t.co/Bc2Fn9nxNo
