Raw cranberries are considered safe for people with gout. They are naturally low in purines and rich in vitamin C and antioxidants

Added by vblinden

Good
  • cranberries are naturally low in purines; they are rich in vitamin C, which may help lower uric acid levels; they contain antioxidant compounds (proanthocyanidins) that can reduce inflammation; some research suggests cranberry compounds may inhibit xanthine oxidase, potentially lowering uric acid production
Bad
  • cranberries contain some natural fructose, though the amount in whole raw berries is modest and unlikely to trigger flares in normal servings; many people consume cranberries in sweetened forms (dried, juiced, sauced), where high added sugar can be problematic for gout management
