Hard cider is low in purines but strongly linked to gout flares due to alcohol and fructose.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • It is low in purines compared to beer or spirits, but this minimal benefit is outweighed by other risks.
Bad
  • Ethanol raises uric acid production and impairs its excretion. Fructose from apples also increases serum urate, making hard cider a significant trigger for gout attacks.
