Plain cocoa is safe, but sugary milk and white chocolate can raise uric acid levels.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Low in purines and dark varieties provide theobromine, which may reduce uric acid crystallization. Cocoa polyphenols offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
Bad
  • Milk and white chocolate are high in added sugar and fructose, which increase serum uric acid and gout flare risk.
