Coconut oil has virtually no purines but is high in saturated fat, which may indirectly affect gout.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Coconut oil is safe for gout because it contains zero purines, no fructose, and no alcohol, so it won't trigger a flare directly.
Bad
  • Its very high saturated fat and calorie density can promote weight gain, which worsens gout outcomes. Overconsumption may also impede uric acid excretion.
