Gout: diet, what you can and cannot eat
Uric acid builds up when purines are broken down, and the richest source of them by far is organ meat. Alcohol, beer above all, raises it too, as does fructose. Vegetables, beans and lentils are not the problem they were once thought to be — plant purines do not raise the risk. Low-fat dairy even helps, and so does drinking enough: the fluid counter in the diary is worth watching here.
What a dish should not contain
A dish does not fit if it contains:
- organ meat
- alcohol
What to watch for
The dish is not ruled out, but you get a warning if it contains:
- red meat
- fish
- a lot of sugar
