Your feedback
Good for you

High-cacao dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder contains theobromine, which may reduce uric acid crystal formation. Cocoa polyphenols also offer anti-inflammatory benefits.

Bad for you

Sweetened cocoa drinks, milk chocolate, and white chocolate are high in added sugars and fructose, which can raise uric acid and increase gout flare risk.
