Micronutrients & recovery
Higher intake of plant-based fast food and white flour pasta is associated with higher uric acid levels, even in a plant-based diet.
Limit plant-based fast food and white flour pasta. While they are plant-based, they can raise uric acid levels. Choose whole-food alternatives like whole-grain pasta and unprocessed foods to minimize this risk.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
diets rich in plant-based fast food and pasta (made from white flour) were associated with higher uric acid levels.
Why this rating
Cross-sectional design, weak correlations, and low average consumption of the specific foods.
