I did read the article, including the part you bolded for me. The issue is just about all cardio docs and nutritionists will say one size fits all on the no fat or red meat idea. Anybody who doesn't is considered an outlier or a dipwit and is made fun of.
Sorry, I didn't mean to diminish your comments. Truce?
We find the biomarker testing to be much more individualized and helpful than generic doctor's advice. We've had great results with the testing. For those that can afford it, which includes many of the posters here, it is really informative.
Both high and low levels of uric acid are linked to decreased mortality. It is a $13 test our doctors never ordered, but the Pubmed research on our different health conditions pointed us to test for it on our own, and it might just add years to our lives. One of us is normal (but would likely be high if not eating plant based) and one low, so for sure the same diet isn't going to be best for us both.
