Your feedback
Good for you

Clams provide lean protein, iron, and vitamin B12. In small, occasional servings, they can fit into a gout diet if uric acid is well-controlled.

Bad for you

Clams contain 136–200 mg purines per 100 grams, raising uric acid and gout attack risk. Pairing with alcohol or sugary drinks significantly increases flare likelihood.
