Coconut is a low-purine food that is safe for gout sufferers in sensible portions.
Good
Coconut water provides hydration and potassium, which may help excrete uric acid. Unsweetened forms are low in purines and fructose.
Bad
Sweetened or processed coconut products add fructose, which can raise uric acid. Coconut meat and oil are calorie-dense and may contribute to weight gain if overconsumed.
