Alkaline Diet Helps with Gout/HyperuricemiaNutrition Journal, 2012An alkaline diet leads to a higher alkalineurine, providing an effective treatment ofHyperuricemia / Gout – alkalising helpsremove uric acid from the body.Article Title: Effect of urine pH changed bydietary intervention on uric acid clearancemechanism of pH-dependent excretion ofurinary uric acidArticle Published: Nutrition Journal 2012,11:39Authors: Aya Kanbara, Yoshisuke Miura,Hideyuki Hyogo, Kazuaki Chayama and IsseiSeyama“Within the framework of the Japanesegovernment’s health promotion program,we made recipes which consisted ofprotein-rich and less vegetable-fruit foodmaterials for H+ load (acidic diet) and otherscomposed of less protein and morevegetable-fruit rich food materials (alkalinediet).Alkaline Foods Support Bone HealthEuropean Journal of Nutrition, 2001Among the five factors which are associatedwith calculating clearances for bothuric acid and creatinine, we identified aconspicuous difference between acidicand alkaline diets in the uric acid concentrationin serum as well as in urine; uricacid in the serum was higher in the acidicgroup than in the alkaline group, while uricacid in the urine in the acidic group waslower than that in the alkaline group. Thesechanges of uric acid in acidic urine and inserum were reflected in the reduction of itsclearance.From these observations, it is consideredthat uric acid may be reabsorbed more activelyin acidic urine than in alkaline urine.We conclude that alkalization of urineby eating nutritionally well-designed alkalineprone food is effective for removinguric acid from the body.”22A diet rich in alkaline forming foods supportsbone health and has been proven bynumerous human studies.Article Title: The Acid-Base Hypothesis:Diet and Bone in the Framingham OsteoporosisStudyArticle Published: European Journal ofNutrition October 2001, Volume 40, Issue5, pp 231-237Authors: Tucker KL, Hannan M, Douglas P“There continues to be considerable debateabout the role of acid vs. basic componentsof the diet on the long-term statusof bone mineral density. The theory that anacidic environment leads to progressivebone loss has long been proposed, andhas been supported by numerous shorttermhuman studies. We examined theeffect of components in the diet thought tohave basic (alkaline) effects and acid effectson bone mineral density…(and) theseresults support the role of base-formingfoods and nutrients in bone health.”alkaline diet proof
