Good
  • Lemons themselves are alkalizing and rich in vitamin C, which has been shown to help lower serum uric acid levels. The citric acid in lemons can help bind to uric acid and promote its excretion through urine.
Bad
  • Commercial lemon pie fillings often contain high amounts of added sugar (corn syrup, sucrose), which can increase insulin levels and reduce uric acid excretion. Some fillings may contain preservatives or artificial ingredients. Pre-made pie fillings might also contain high fructose corn syrup, which is particularly problematic for gout as fructose directly increases uric acid production.
