Similar to animal-based food sources (e.g., meat, fish, and animal visceral organs), some plant-based food sources (e.g., certain soy legume products, sea vegetables, and brassica vegetables) also contain a high purine load. Suboptimally designed PBDs might consequently be associated with increased uric acid levels and gout development. Here, we review the available data on this topic, with a great majority of studies showing reduced risk of hyperuricemia and gout with vegetarian (especially lacto-vegetarian) PBDs. Additionally, type of ingested purines, fiber, vitamin C, and certain lifestyle factors work in concordance to reduce uric acid generation in PBDs. Recent limited data show that even with an exclusive PBD, uric acid concentrations remain in the normal range in short- and long-term dieters. The reasonable consumption of plant foods with a higher purine content as a part of PBDs may therefore be safely tolerated in normouricemic individuals, but additional data is needed in hyperuricemic individuals, especially those with chronic kidney disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11081736","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]],"date-time":"2019-07-26T11:55:22Z","timestamp":1564142122000},"page":"1736","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":126,"title":["Uric Acid and Plant-Based Nutrition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Bo\u0161tjan","family":"Jak\u0161e","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Jamnikarjeva 101, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Jak\u0161e","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barbara Jak\u0161e s.p., 1230 Dom\u017eale, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maja","family":"Pajek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, University of Ljubljana, Gortanova 22, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3265-8053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jernej","family":"Pajek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, University Medical Center Ljubljana, Zalo\u0161ka 2, 1525 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"597","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.112.044073","article-title":"Risk of hospitalization or death from ischemic heart disease among British vegetarians and nonvegetarians: results from the EPIC-Oxford cohort study","volume":"97","author":"Crowe","year":"2013","journal-title":"Am.
