IS SOY SAUCE A CAUSE OF URIC ACID?

Soy sauce contains purines, which can be metabolized into uric acid in the body. However, the levels of purines in soy sauce are relatively low compared to other foods, such as red meat and certain seafood. While moderate consumption of soy sauce is unlikely to significantly raise uric acid levels, individuals prone to gout or high uric acid should monitor their overall purine intake, including sources like soy sauce.
