Lycopen and gout
Question
Hi,
1) To eat or to avoid watermelon for plasma uric acid.
2) levels of plasma uric acid before and after consumption of watermelon.
Thank you in advance.
Do you mean to increase or to decrease plasma levels of uric acid? Keep it in your mind that the most active nutrients (other than diuretics) in watermelon is lycopen. Foods rich in lycopen such as tomatoes and red/blue berries are foods recommended for gout management.
I failed finding any concrete numbers on watermelon effects on plasma uric acid levels.
