Cantaloupe is safe for people with gout. It is naturally low in purines, high in water content (helps with hydration and uric acid excretion), and provides vitamin C, which may help lower uric acid levels. However, cantaloupe does contain fructose (natural fruit sugar), so excessive consumption could theoretically raise uric acid in sensitive individuals, but normal servings are not a concern.
