Blackberry

With moderation

100% blackberry juice is a moderately good choice for gout because it contains antioxidants (including anthocyanins) that may help lower uric acid levels and reduce inflammation. However, fruit juices are typically concentrated sources of natural sugars (fructose), which can raise serum uric acid in some people. While a small glass (4-6 oz) of pure, unsweetened blackberry juice is likely safe for most people with gout, it lacks the fiber of whole berries and delivers more sugar per serving. Drink it occasionally and in modest amounts rather than as a daily staple.

Good

Contains anthocyanins and other antioxidants that may lower uric acid and reduce inflammation. 100% juice has no added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Blackberries themselves are a lower-purine fruit.

Bad

Natural fruit juice is a concentrated source of fructose, which can increase uric acid production via purine nucleotide turnover. Lacks the beneficial fiber of whole blackberries, which slows sugar absorption.
