"Marine animals one is very rich in purines, which the body will be broken down into uric acid. If you want to eat them, you should not be too much," said Sandon, as quoted from Health.com
- Beer

Avoid consumption of sweet drinks containing high fructose such as soda or fruit juice packaging. Artificial sweeteners contained in it will make the body produce more uric acid. Research also shows men who eat lots of high fructose drinks exposed to higher risk of uric acid.
