Your feedback
Good for you

Habitual intake (1+ cups daily) may increase uric acid excretion, inhibit xanthine oxidase, and reduce gout incidence by 40-57% per meta-analyses from Mayo Clinic and Arthritis Foundation.

Bad for you

Plain coffee poses no significant risks; sweetened versions with fructose could indirectly contribute to flares but are unrelated to coffee itself.
