Fruits That People with Gout Should Avoid

Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with gout must adhere to dietary restrictions. Sweeter fruits may adversely affect serum uric acid levels—for example, muskmelon, watermelon, and papaya contain relatively high sugar content, with approximately 10 g of sugar per 100 g. Therefore, these fruits should be consumed in moderation; large or excessive single servings are not recommended, as excessive fructose intake can negatively impact uric acid levels.
