Tuna has moderate to high purine levels that can raise uric acid and trigger gout flares, but its omega-3s provide some benefits

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Provides heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that may support overall health for people with well-controlled gout.
Bad
  • Contains 117-157 mg purines per 100 g, which the body converts to uric acid, increasing flare risk if portions exceed 3-4 oz or frequency tops 1-3 servings weekly.
