Drinking coffee for a long time can reduce the occurrence of gout. This effect has nothing to do with drinking habits. Some factors that can affect gout, such as body mass index, age, hypertension, taking anti-uric acid drugs, drinking and chronic kidney disease, do not affect the effect of coffee. The experimental results suggest that other caffeinated beverages have no effect on relieving gout, while decaffeinated coffee drinks have obvious effect on preventing gout, indicating that the effective component in coffee is not caffeine. Scientists believe that the mechanism of preventing gout by coffee may be that an unknown substance in coffee reduces the level of uric acid in blood, which affects insulin tolerance. Of course, there may be other mechanisms.
Although drinking coffee can reduce the incidence of gout, the probability of gout can be further reduced unless drinking more than 4 cups of coffee every day. Otherwise, the preventive effect of coffee on gout is not positively related to the amount of coffee consumed. Therefore, it is not "how much to drink" that matters, but "whether to drink". Therefore, it is suggested that gout patients drink some coffee when they are suitable for their own physique.
Seeing that many gout patients here will have such questions: Is drinking coffee to prevent gout related to caffeine? Tea also contains caffeine? Is it useful? For such a question, experts said that the prevention of gout by coffee has nothing to do with caffeine intake, and drinking tea can not reduce the occurrence of gout. However, it should be added that one of the control formulas of gout is to "drink more water". Although drinking tea has no preventive effect on gout, drinking more tea will lead to a large amount of water intake, which is still beneficial.
Prevention of gout has nothing to do with caffeine intake.

Prevention of gout is better than treatment of gout.
Gout is the most common metabolic disease in adult men, and it has an increasing trend in recent years. Because coffee drinks are widely consumed all over the world, drinking coffee can prevent gout, which will be beneficial to public health. But pay attention to any food should not be overdone, extremes meet, and coffee can be drunk in moderation.
Prevention and treatment in daily life have a certain preventive effect on gout, but once the disease breaks out, prevention alone is not enough, and correct diagnosis and treatment is the wisest choice.
