The relationship between coffee drinking and gout Coffee is healthy

For a long time, there has been a lot of right and wrong about coffee. Some people are biased against coffee, while others love it very much. Recently, researchers have voiced support for coffee, and researchers have found that women drinking four cups of coffee a day can significantly reduce their risk of gout, according to an article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Women who drank coffee every day were 57% less likely to develop gout than those who never drank coffee. According to the Daily Mail, there has been a marked increase in the number of gout cases in the UK in recent years, with about 250000 people suffering from the disease, with more men than women, which may be related to men's poor eating habits and alcohol addiction. Recent studies have confirmed that the number of young people suffering from gout in the UK has also increased, which may be related to the increase in obesity rates. Researchers at Boston University and Harvard Medical School followed 90000 nurses in the United States for 26 years, focusing on their health and eating habits. Of the respondents, 900 suffered from gout, while long-term coffee drinkers had a significantly lower risk of gout. The mechanism of coffee's effect on gout is being further studied, which may be related to its lowering the level of insulin in the blood. Previous studies have shown that elevated insulin can lead to an increase in uric acid, which eventually leads to gout. But it doesn't seem to be the caffeine in coffee that works, because decaffeinated coffee has been found to have a similar effect. A similar study published in 2007 found that coffee can prevent gout in both men and women, and this study reconfirms this view. In addition, some studies have shown that gout is an early sign of heart disease.
