The side effect of consuming too much petai is that it can cause an increase in uric acid. This is because petai contains purine substances. The presence of purine substances is actually the source of the increase in uric acid levels in the body. If the level of uric acid in the body is high, the body will experience unbearable joint pain. Therefore, it is advisable to regulate the amount of petai consumed so as not to exceed the limit.
2. Appearance of Tophi
The side effect of consuming too much petai can cause the appearance of tophi. For some people, this disease may sound unfamiliar. Tophi itself is a small lump that is white in color and is formed due to the accumulation of uric acid under the skin. If the level of uric acid is high, tophi will be very painful.
3. Triggering Rheumatism

Those are the various side effects of consuming petai excessively. Although it may taste delicious in the mouth, you should also pay attention to your body's health and avoid consuming it excessively. Hope this is useful.
