Good
  • Brown rice is a whole grain rich in fiber and low in purines, making it a good carbohydrate choice for gout. Soy-based sauces (like traditional soy sauce or tamari) are generally low in purines in typical serving sizes. The absence of added fat keeps the meal lower in calories and avoids any high-fat triggers that can impair uric acid excretion.
Bad
  • Some soy sauces can be high in sodium, which may negatively affect kidney function and uric acid clearance. Additionally, certain soy sauces (especially cheaper varieties) may contain added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup, which can elevate uric acid levels. Highly fermented or concentrated soy pastes can have moderately higher purine content, though this is less of a concern with typical serving sizes.
