[5] Development of gout – which is a painful, short-term disorder – is the most common consequence of hyperuricemia, which causes deposition of uric acid crystals usually in joints of the extremities, but may also induce formation of kidney stones ...
Beans are high in purines, which are metabolized to uric acid. Uric acid is not a toxin but may promote the development or exacerbation of gout . However, more recent research has questioned this association, finding that moderate intake of purine-rich foods is not associated with an increased risk of gout.
A new report from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests that beans and legumes are healthier proteins than lean meat: here's why.
