There’s a widespread belief that eating too much organ meat (and red meat, for that matter) can cause gout, and that people who suffer from gout should reduce their consumption of those foods because they have high levels of purine that can contribute to high blood levels of uric acid. What most people don’t know is that over 60% of all uric acid is produced by the body and only about a third stems from the food you eat. What’s important to understand is that most people who suffer from gout have issues eliminating uric acid via the kidneys rather than overproducing it. Additionally, studies have shown that the increased consumption of foods that contain large quantities of purine usually leads to an increase of uric acid excretion.  So if you’re metabolically healthy, there’s no need to limit your intake of red meat or organ meat supplements. If you currently suffer from gout, I recommend making the appropriate lifestyle changes to become metabolically healthy, so you can increase your intake in organ meats.
