But if more people knew the full extent of how it affects our metabolism, cardiovascular health, and risk for Alzheimer’s and dementia, we might pay more attention to it. In this episode of Health Theory, Dr. David Perlmutter returns with the latest research on how uric acid is about much more than just gout. He explains the relationship between uric acid, insulin, and fructose, why it doesn’t mean that all fruits are bad for you, and how our modern problem with uric acid is actually the result of a disconnect between evolution and environment. If you want to dive deeper into the latest knowledge bomb from Dr. Perlmutter, you’ll definitely want to check out his new book, Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid – The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar and Achieving Extraordinary Health Click here to pre-order: https://amzn.to/3HQykY5 SHOW NOTES: 00:00 | Introduction 00:43 | Uric Acid and Metabolism 06:42 | The Problem With Fructose 12:22 | What Does Uric Acid Do? 23:58 | Eat to Lower Uric Acid 33:43 | The Cause of Type 2 Diabetes 41:48 | The Ideal Diet & Lifestyle QUOTES: “A lot of roads lead to the Rome of inflammation, and set the stage for things like Alzheimer’s and coronary artery disease. And because of that, it’s the reason that a monotherapy or a one drug approach to Alzheimer’s, for example, is beyond myopic. It’s never going to work.” [03:02] “Our metabolic health globally is in a terrible place. I mean, a third of American adults have hypertension, and 10% of kids aged 12 to 18 have hypertension. That’s crazy. 50% of adult Americans will be obese by the year 2030. Not just overweight, but obese.” [04:16] “Elevation of uric acid is associated with an 80% increased risk of dementia, a 55% increase risk of Alzheimer’s specifically, and a 165% increased risk of vascular dementia.” [13:53] “What would be the upside of having uric acid create insulin resistance, and therefore cause blood sugar to go up? Why? Because when you’re starving, it’ll help power your brain.” [16:50] “What we’re seeing now are these metabolic derangements that underlie these diseases that represent a disconnect between evolution and environment.” [22:06] “If it has a barcode, and it’s in the grocery store, it has added sweetener – 70% do. And by and large that comes from high fructose, there’s the villain corn syrup that we subsidize to the tune of $500 billion a year.” [25:01] “Uric acid levels are climbing in lockstep with fructose consumption. In the 1920s, average uric acid level in Americans was about 3.5 – it’s now six.” [46:50] Follow Dr. David Perlmutter: Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com Twitter: https://bit.ly/3GRK37j Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Bkb8yZ Instagram: https://bit.ly/3swlmYY Order Dr. Perlmutter’s new book, Drop Acid: https://amzn.to/3HQykY5
What was the most surprising thing you learned from Dr. Perlmutter?
@ALAN H exactly. Very western world, temperate oriented. Our ancestors came from fruit all year round climes. To be fair he didn’t say and doesn’t says fruit is bad. It’s on the yes list in his book.

Unfortunately, gout runs in the family. It runs on my father’s side.
@Jasmine P. My Uric Acid levels went down when I Fasted.. Up again when I ate sugar even low carb.. I have had full-blown Gout. big toe and spread to joint pain.. SOOOOOO Painful!! Now take Febuxostat 80mgs. to block it.
He’s thinking on a whole another level out of touch with reality, early dementia
All get a bit confusing. You just had the body building coach on proclaiming how good red meat is. Fresh fruits as apposed to lollies. What about dry fruits. Now there saying fruits make you fat. Fuck me….
Oh not to mention Beer! Now we can’t drink Beer! FFS… There’s studies out there saying a Beer an hour before bed is great for a good nights sleep! Not to mention Beer has the highest Vitamin B Complex.
Also! When the person presenting this information doesn’t look healthy! I tend to listen to the ones that do
sugar in fruit is only about 50% fructose, and fruit only has 2-4 grams of sugar per ounce. Rat studies show that fructose starts to have negative affects at above 4% of daily maintenance calories. That would be 20 grams on a 2000 calorie diet. That would be 12-14 ounces of berries (40 grams sugar, 20 net fructose) or 20 ounces of watermelon or cantaloupe. Bananas have about 2 grams of fructose per ounce so about 10 ounces of banana. (a small banana is 3 oz and a large one is about 4).
1 medium soda will put you at 25+.
if this is how u can looks like by eating super healthy …. fuk that.
He had me until he said we have outdated machinery for the environment. Nope. We have a fake environment, full of excesses in the cities..: but anybody go out in the wild and you will find we are very well adapted. F civilization and F blaming our genome for us feeding ourselves garbage!
A muffled mumble even on high volume.
Choose your fruits wisely.
Thought provoking.
Trying to get healthier. Feel like I’ve not heard my own words until recently. Balance, we need to be in balance. When we’re not in balance we have issues, due to our imbalance. So grateful for what this providing. I can better understand that I wasn’t quite getting, thank you.
Had up until our primate ancestors…..we are not from animals or animal hybrids. Science has finally been able to admit we were CREATED. The Bible has truth, but you must discern what resonates as truth, as you are able to accept. Paul told us this, as a child (in the spirit) we held somethings as truth, as we grow (in spirit), we accept real truth. First step to open your spiritual maturity…..we were CREATED from a infinite spirit, infinite light, and infinite energy. Accept that and then do your own research. The next step is to try to understand free will. It is a really pivotal gift from our CREATOR. Love you, and may you find your truth.
