Good
  • Tomatoes are low in purines and rich in vitamin C, lycopene, and water, all of which support uric acid excretion and reduce inflammation.
Bad
  • Some people report tomatoes as a trigger, possibly due to glutamate affecting urate production. Processed tomato products with added sugar or salt are worse choices.
