I used to eat tofu often, but some people say that eating too much tofu will cause gout. I'm afraid, is it true?

    Eating tofu properly can supplement calcium and minerals, but long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency and lead to iodine deficiency disease. Tofu is rich in purines, gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with increased blood uric acid concentration can easily cause gout attacks.
