Heat does not completely destroy purines, but it can break down nucleic acids, which are composed of purines and pyrimidines. Cooking can lead to the degradation of some of these compounds, reducing their levels in food. However, the extent of purine destruction varies depending on the cooking method and duration. Overall, while heat may reduce purine content, it does not eliminate them entirely.
