Can I eat yuba if I have high uric acid?

People with high uric acid levels can also eat some bean curd sticks. We know that high uric acid is very harmful to the body and can easily lead to gout. The purine content in bean curd sticks is relatively not high, so there is no problem in eating some of it. Of course, some people should eat less bean curd sticks, such as people with renal insufficiency, kidney disease, diabetics, or obese people.

These people should not eat yuba

1. Patients with nephritis or renal insufficiency

Although yuba has high nutritional value, some people, such as those with nephritis or renal insufficiency, should eat less, otherwise it will aggravate their condition.

2. Diabetics

Patients with diabetes, acidosis, gout, or those taking tetracycline, chloramphenicol, etc. should also eat it with caution.

3. People who want to lose weight

Due to the difference in production methods, the calories in yuba are slightly higher than other soy products, with 457 kcal per 100 grams (tofu 82 kcal, dried tofu 140 kcal, fried tofu 244 kcal). Therefore, people who need to control their weight should not eat yuba often, or reduce the intake of staple foods appropriately when eating yuba.

4. People who are allergic to soy foods

If you are allergic to soy products, eating yuba may cause allergic symptoms such as skin redness and swelling, frequent diarrhea, indigestion, headache, sore throat, asthma, etc., so such people should also avoid eating yuba.

Other taboos

1. It is not suitable to be eaten with spinach, bamboo shoots, amaranth, etc.

Bean curd sheets cannot be eaten together with foods high in oxalic acid. The reason is that Bean curd sheets are high in calcium, and calcium and oxalic acid can form insoluble or insoluble calcium oxalate, which affects calcium absorption. For example, spinach, bamboo shoots, amaranth, etc. contain high oxalic acid. However, if spinach, bamboo shoots and other foods high in oxalic acid are first boiled in water, most of the oxalic acid can be removed, thus reducing their impact and they can be eaten together.

2. Do not eat with onions

It is not advisable to eat yuba with onions, as this will affect the absorption of calcium.

3. Not suitable with honey

It is also not advisable to eat yuba with honey as it can damage hearing and cause diarrhea.
