Let me share a recent study as published in the Straits Times.

"The finding, that soy is not associated with higher risk of gout, confirms six other studies done in places like Japan and Taiwan, which show that consuming soy does not increase uric acid in one's blood, said Professor Koh Woon-Puay, who studies population health at the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School.
"In the local study, the group which ate the most red meat had an 8 per cent higher risk of gout. Surprisingly, the group which consumed the most poultry had a significantly higher 27 per cent increased risk. Up to 97 per cent of the red meat consumed by those polled was pork as older Chinese seldom eat beef and lamb, unlike in Western countries. The trend has to be studied further as previous research did not break meat up into different categories to look at their associations with gout, Prof Koh said. "Though the study surveyed only Chinese, we have no reason to expect different results in other racial groups," she added. About 4 per cent of Singaporeans over the age of 45 suffer from gout, which is more common in males."
The article above is conducted in Singapore, which is very relevant to us.
The research has once again demonstrated to us that sometimes even medical experts based on their recommendation on Nutrition misconceptions/myth.
Hence it is very important for us to learn to be a wise consumer so that we always get the correct way of a healthier living.
