Good
  • Limes are very low in purines and rich in vitamin C, which has been shown in studies to help reduce uric acid levels.
  • Citrus fruits like limes may help increase urinary excretion of uric acid due to their citrate content.
  • When prepared with eggs (moderate purines), the overall purine load per serving remains low.
  • No high-purine ingredients like organ meats, shellfish, or red meat are involved.
Bad
  • Desserts like soufflé can contain added sugar, which in excess may contribute to insulin resistance and higher uric acid levels.
  • Eggs contain moderate purines (primarily adenine and hypoxanthine), though in small quantities per serving they are unlikely to be problematic.
  • High calorie/fat content (butter, cream) may contribute to weight gain if overconsumed, indirectly worsening gout.
