Mooncakes are an indispensable traditional delicacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but not suitable for everyone. With the increasing number of gout patients, the question of whether they can taste mooncakes has become a concern. Experts remind that gout patients should avoid consuming mooncakes, what are the reasons?
Some mooncake enthusiasts, especially young people, prefer egg yolk or fruit flavors, sometimes even treating mooncakes as their main meal, consuming several in a day. However, healthy diet recommendations suggest that the daily intake of mooncakes should be limited to 1-2 pieces, avoiding excessive consumption. Even if one has a special fondness for mooncakes, they should not replace regular meals with them.
It is worth noting that mooncakes are not only restricted for gout patients. Individuals with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart diseases also need to avoid them; those with digestive system issues like gastric problems or duodenal diseases should limit mooncake intake; and patients experiencing chronic diarrhea or in the acute or recovery stage of hepatitis should also avoid consuming mooncakes to safeguard their health.
