Plain low-fat milk is actively recommended for gout and can help lower uric acid levels.
Good
Low-fat milk is naturally very low in purines and contains proteins and lactose that promote uric acid excretion. Daily consumption is endorsed by rheumatology guidelines for gout management.
Bad
Only flavored or sweetened varieties (chocolate, strawberry) are problematic for gout due to added fructose and sugar, which can raise uric acid and negate dairy's benefits.
