Unsweetened cocoa may help inhibit uric acid crystallization, but added sugars in most products raise gout risk.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • High-cacao dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder contains theobromine, which may reduce uric acid crystal formation. Cocoa polyphenols also offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
Bad
  • Sweetened cocoa drinks, milk chocolate, and white chocolate are high in added sugars and fructose, which can raise uric acid and increase gout flare risk.
