Levels | Ultra-Processed Foods Raise Blood Sugar | Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Casey Means @levels | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
For A Whole New Level, Levels Advisor David Perlmutter, MD, and Levels Co-Founder and author of “Good Energy” Casey Means, MD, discuss the problems with high uric acid and the foods and drinks that can lead to elevated levels.
Ultra-processed foods contribute to higher uric acid levels. Uric acid can cause gout and is a marker of worsened metabolic health. It also encourages fat production and storage and drives mitochondrial dysfunction, which can harm brain and cardiovascular health.
Anything that raises your blood glucose level will ultimately increase fructose in the body and raise uric acid.
- Ultra-processed foods are notorious for raising glucose levels because of their added sugar.
- Through the action of an enzyme called aldose reductase, the body can make fructose from high glucose levels.
- Fructose then metabolizes into uric acid.
